Home Owners Insurance Dog Breeds

Pomeranian killed at home by neighbor's Rottweiler in Upper Deerfield Twp.

UPPER DEERFIELD TWP. — A neighbor’s ongoing negligence to properly control his Rottweilers came to a tragic climax on Dec. 9 when Caitlin Ono’s 2-year-old Pomeranian, Miya, was killed in her own yard.

“I was very upset, but it’s not the dog’s fault — it’s how he was raised. Our neighbor didn’t do a good job, and now the dog has gobbled Miya up,” Ono said. “His dogs get loose a lot, and we’ve tried to get the problem resolved, but he hasn’t done anything about it. It’s really upsetting.”

Ono, who lives on Husted Station Road in Upper Deerfield with her mother, Diane, said neighbor Richard Smitheman told her he breeds Rottweilers and owns four of the large dogs, including Blaze, the animal that killed Miya.

“...the Rottweiler viciously attacked the Pomeranian and had it in its mouth by the spine in between the front legs and the hind legs,” Diane Ono wrote in a Dec. 12 statement to Animal Control Officer Jim McCleery.

“I was still holding the other end of (Miya’s) leash, at which point the Rottweiler began shaking its head with our dog in its mouth back and forth very aggressively. The harness on the Pomeranian slipped off at this point, and all attempts to intervene only made the Rottweiler more aggressive.”

The Rottweiler ran off into the woods with Miya’s body in its mouth, and the Onos contacted the State police. Later that evening, Caitlin Ono found her dead dog and went to Smitheman’s house to tell him what had happened.

“I tried to contain myself but I yelled a little bit, then I walked back to my house and he followed me. We got into an argument, and he said he would go in halfsies with a fence,” Ono said. “I told him that wasn’t our job, to get a fence to contain his dogs, but he didn’t seem like he felt very bad at all.
