It's been going downhill and it's not contributing anything positive to this community, perhaps it should be locked or closed.

Oh, you're funny! "Make work project" I think!

Saw this the other day and made me think of this thread...

I wonder what would have happened if this mother had left her 3 week old baby alone with 3 Chihuahuas?

She must have trusted these dogs.

Here was another one that happened earlier in May

Quoted from the article above

"The family was shocked at the dog's violence -- the dog was considered a good family pet."

"Kamiko is the 513th American killed by a pit bull since we began collecting this data on the Fatal Pit Bull Attacks Archival Record website. Her death also marks the 210th child mauled to death by a pit bull since 1980"

I wonder how many Chihuahua deaths?

Looked online but I guess no one is keeping statistics on that.

ACTUALLY...
There have been SOME reported Chihuahua attack deaths...

Here is a guy who was "mauled" by Chihuahuas (and some other dogs)...he survived the attack but later committed suicide after some intense shaming from the general public and his friends and family.

Also, I found some video on news reports of roaming packs of feral Chihuahuas in Arizona back in 2014...

Scary stuff...it doesn't look like any injuries or deaths from them though. Lucky.

When you do search Chihuahua attack, you do come up with a ton of reports of Chihuahua being killed by other dogs...not so much with when you search Pit Bull attack.
