Every single day posted in the comments section on the latest bloody pit bull incident, you will read it: Chihuahua's are meaner. They need to ban those nasty little ankle biters. It's a ridiculously silly scapegoat. So many times, the pit bull owner will say how they never have had a single problem with their Pit Bull, but their Chihuahua will tear your throat out, this after writing in CAPS IT'S ALL HOW YOU RAISE EM! I would have collected some screenshots of the statements here, but it's actually so pervasive, there's no point in doing that. It's unfortunately as pervasive and un-newsworthy as pit bulls mauling, especially little tiny ankle biters. Even those stories don't make the news unless there is something extra-ordinary that happens, such as if the owner of the little yappy ankle biter that was just killed gets a knife and slits the throat of the pibble. A story like that may be more viral than the mauling of a child, which is also at this point, almost not newsworthy.
If I were a Chihuahua that had to put up with the constant fear of becoming a snack for pibble, or to deal with the inane stupidity of a nutter, I would be grouchy and reactive too. Chihuahuas deserve better. They are a noble and ancient race, and they deserve to be treated like royalty for their fierce loyalty. They are the best watch dogs. Arrive at the doorstep of a Chihuahua, and before you ring the bell, there will be shrill coloratura trills that would give Beverly Sills a run for her money.
They tremble and explode, because I suspect, there's way too much dog in there for that tiny little body to contain.

| When a pit bull wants to be truly frightening, especially to pit bull owners, he will wear his Chihuahua costume. |

In the mean time, be nice to Chihuahuas but be sure to keep Bandaids and Bactine on the ready, and always wear thick socks to protect your ankles.
