VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: Some may find the video disturbing. Animal control officers in Seaside are looking for a husky involved in a vicious dog attack that was caught on camera.
Animal control officers in Seaside are looking for a husky involved in a vicious dog attack that was caught on camera.
In the video, a small Yorkie is seen being bitten and grabbed by a husky. Officials want to find the husky before it attacks again.
Sophie, a 3-year-old Yorkie, is now missing after being snatched up by a large husky that was on the loose in a Seaside neighborhood.
"She was very cute. Everyone there loved her," said a witness.
"Sophie's a small dog. There's no way she's out running or outmaneuvering the dog. There's nothing that she could have done," said another witness.
Sophie was outside with her owner when the husky came running around another apartment. The husky caught up with Sophie and viciously shook her in its mouth. The owner felt helpless in the moment.
"She looked me in the eyes, as if waiting to be saved, but I was afraid the husky might attack me," said the owner, who does not want to be identified. "When I went looking for a stick, the husky ran off with Sophie in its mouth."
"We want her back. We want to find her, locate her. We just want to know for closure," said a family member.
Animal control with Seaside PD is now involved and hoping neighbors near Francis and Canyon Del Rey, where the attack happened, will be on the lookout for the husky before it attacks again.
"This dog was clearly not hunting for the first time because it went right after Sophie, chased her, grabbed her, and shook her in its mouth as soon as it got her. It seems, sadly, that this husky has had experience with this kind of stuff before," said an animal control officer.
The Seaside family is now resigned to the possibility that Sophie isn't coming home.
"We all have already accepted the fact that she is most likely not with us anymore. And that hits pretty deep. I just hope it doesn't happen to anyone else," said a family member.
My 220lb Cane Corso looved all my little ones and even the non-stop barking pomeranians. He was like a giant cocker spaniel.
My African Boerbel would have killed all the dogs, so he had his own yard time. But extremely loyal to me and my wife.
I meant to say I have reservations about huskies or mutes as family dogs
Better for sole owner
Rotts are great for family
And don’t eat no yorkie snow
“But I have never heard of Husky’s being vicious. Beautiful and stupid, yes. But mean? No. But... there are so many factors that go into a dog’s temperment.”
We owned two AKC registered Siberian Huskies. Both were the sweetest dogs in the world, both were deathly afraid of small children, and were the most untrainable dogs you ever met in your life.
That said, they would KILL anything that came in our back yard; birds, possums, ground hogs, skunks, cats, you name it. The red Husky would snatch birds out of the air, I saw her do it 3 separate times.
As long as the dogs were their size or larger, the were perfectly fine. However, and dog that was the size of a cat or smaller, I had to restrain the Alpha, he would go for them EVERY time!
My neighbor had 4 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. More than a couple of uncomfortable encounters with them and my male Husky. I prayed that none of those dogs ever slipped under our backyard fence, because 1. I knew what they paid for those dogs, and 2. what the outcome would be.
“She” refers to the victim, not the attacker, from what I can tell.
I worked in an animal hospital. Any breed or mix can be vicious. I was surprised that our American Cocker Spaniel and Shi-Tzu patients were often biters. The smaller the breed, however, the less chance of getting killed by it.
I'll never forget a time in the early 1960's when I lived in rural Georgia. We were at the bus stop on Reynolds Bend Road, and about 5 football fields distance away, saw a wild pack of dogs running over the top of a hill coming toward us. We knew they were wild because there were all kinds of breeds together. There were pastures with cattle as far as you could see, well except Mr. White's garden right behind us.
We had Boxers on our farm, at one time we had 22 dogs counting puppies from different litters. None of them were AKC certified so my parents gave them away in the community. Years later my wife told me that one of her cousins (a classmate of mine) had one of our Boxer puppies and I found on Facebook that a girl that was a couple of classes ahead of me had one our puppies too.
That feral pack of dogs was a terror.
Bitch probably gave the Husky some shit.
That is a phrase I did not expect to see on Free Republic.
Sometimes yappy dogs get a taste of the annoyance they make.
Sometimes bigger dogs actually taste that annoying dog.
Husky hungry. Small dog drove it nuts and got “subsumed”.
“6 feet down and I can still here her nag”.
Are they sure it’s not a big coyote or a wolf rather than a huskie?
That neighborhood has gone to the dogs.

My chihuahua attacked a black Cane at beach at Charleston a few years ago
He just laughed her nippy ass off
I respect Boerbel
That’s a helluva dog
Sounds about right. My Cane, Big Sherm, was just a oversized goofball. My Boerbel, Gunner was too, he just didn’t care for the others. I had a malamute at the same time. I raise my big dogs to be playful knuckleheads.
Besides the Boerbel, our 2 Great Pyrenees field dogs were absolute killers if anything wandered into our pasture withbour goats and sheep. When we got rid of our heard, we bought a miniature donkey and put her out with the GPs. They became fast friends and played all day.
Lunch.
