HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A teeny, tiny dog is being hailed a crime fighter in one Houston neighborhood. While he doesn't have a cape, he's got a serious bark.
A Ring camera captured the surreal sight last week at a house on Chesterfield Drive in Sunnyside. The footage shows a would-be burglar roll up on a bicycle. He's carrying a giant stick
with him. Within seconds, a little dog appears and goes after the wannabe crook.
Chester Wells is one of the property investors. His Ring app alerted him to the action. He then remotely triggered a loud alarm. The alarm scared the bad guy off, and the dog then
chased him into the street.
"I'm thinking I'm not going to be able to ring the alarm fast enough before this person does any damage. Then out of nowhere, the dog comes racing around the corner. He engages the
intruder, much braver than I would for sure," said Wells. "He deters him long enough or becomes as much of a nuisance as possible for me to go ahead and ring the app. I had to
figure out how it works. Sure enough, as soon as the app ringed, the dog chased him right out into the street. I've never seen him since."
Wells said the dog is a stray. He doesn't have a name, but Wells said he's now going to call him "McGruff." Wells credits the dog with saving him thousands of dollars in repairs. He
said a few days after this instance, "McGruff" scared off another would-be intruder.
What a coward
Other than this, chihuahuas are the fucking worst.
They are the most aggressive dogs Ive ever seen. Way worse than all the frighting dogs people bitch about.
These dogs are evil by nature and won't rest until you are dead.
Man fuck Chihuahuas my ex gf had one and it tried to bite me in the dick
I mean look at this they are the devil disguised as little shits

Their eyes look like they were an afterthought that someone attached to their skull and just stretched the skin to fit
Wow I was expecting something like the dog barking inside the house and the burglar just leaving cos the dogs alarmed everyone
not him running away lmao
My sister has a Chihuahua, he's one of the friendliest dogs I know
Yeah ok dude, prob friendly to your face but the second you're gone he probably talking shit about you behind your back.
chihuahuas are horrid, eldritch creatures
i know this very well, as my mother used to run a chihuahua breeding kennel. they are the piranhas of the dog world.
My dog is the best

If you post a video of your chihuahuas being put outside without spontaneously barking at the wind I'll believe you.
every chihuahua I've met has been really friendly to me because it wanted nothing more than to fuck and inseminate my leg
Nowhere else to post this but does anyone else think that Steve Buscemi resembles a Chihuahua?
My mother had a chihuahua, it was the sweetest, most introverted little thing ive ever seen.
Chihuahuas are what happen when you take something that was big and make it small but never take out the mentality of it being and wanting to be big.
please post pic of said legs
thanks
Small dogs just get treated differently, it's nothing to do with their nature. People are terrible at understanding dog body language and communication, tend to do things like pick them up and things that would be absurd to do with larger dogs. Ignoring warning signs, discouraging growling, etc all leads to people being attacked.
The shelter I worked at gave a lot of exposure to Chihuahuas. For sure, lots of fraxious mean little buggers out there. Plenty of very friendly ones too. Just have to remember that the world is a lot different when you weigh so little. (Had one dog that weighed 3.5lbs as an adult.)
My chi was so loving towards literally everyone, even strangers, except my brother but no animal liked him. The worst she would do is furiously hump any horizontal leaning limbs and bite if you tried to move it, but she was still sweet. I miss her so much ;^;
Thing is, you can kick it away if it does attack you in such a manner that kicking is required.
Pitbulls on the other hand or any other aggressive type of dog are probably gonna rip your leg to shreds first, if not just jump at you and knock you down.
Chihuahuas tend to be shit because a lot of owners allow them to be shit. What is dangerous, aggressive and destructive behaviour if done by a golden retriever* or german shepherd is just seen as cute mischief by a tiny little dog like chihuahuas. Their size also leads them to be treated and raised more like cats by a lot of people, which reinforces behaviour that is not really how you want a dog to behave.
Source: In-laws have a chihuahua-mix and it's the absolute worst but they refuse to acknowledge that the dog is shit, while their giant fuckin' Newfie gets in major trouble for even the slightest bit of misbehaving. This includes the two dogs doing the exact same thing at the exact same time, such as jumpy behaviour towards guests or sleeping in furniture. A dog is a dog, no matter its size. Raise it like a dog, or you end up with a shitty dog.
*as if Golden Goodbois have the heart to be destructive, but I digress
I find it in bad taste to compare Chihuahuas to piranhas, piranhas are timid social fish.
you fucking racists
High arousal like any other terrier, but not aggressive. Have worked with any pits in a professional context or are you afraid of them because of news articles you've read?
Environment generally plays a larger part in shaping a dog's behavior than genetics. Larger dogs of any sort will still mess you up. Pepper spray is a good idea. Let's not be landracists.
Yeah Chihuahua's are totally not little devils

A chihuahua once ran into my house and just decided to live there. He was chill as fuck, never yapped or growled or humped. Just a cool lil dude. Had to give em to my aunt because my cat wasn’t having it though.

They don't have regular eyesockets.
applies to any dog tbh, just using pits as an example because they ARE strong dogs that will fuck your shit up
