Yorkshire terrier survives shark attack because it ‘didn’t like the taste’

A Yorkshire terrier is believed to have survived a shark attack because it failed to live up to the predator’s tastes. Maddie, a 9-year-old Yorkie, was aboard its owner’s boat off Florida ’s northeast coast when it lost balance and fell. After briefly disappearing, the dog resurfaced with multiple bite wounds, a broken pelvis and severe bruising.

The accident happened while Bill and Terri Hoge were returning to the dock in St Augustine after an afternoon of sailing. In a scene reminiscent of the film The Meg – where a shark homes in on a hapless Yorkshire terrier – Maddie was spotted floundering in the water..
