The Chihuahua Hero

It happened during the month of June of 2010, in Richmond California. Two pit bulls named Jade and Beast chewed a hole through a wooden fence and made their way to a Richmond apartment nearby. Mayda Estrella was holding her newborn baby while she was cooking. Brian, her four year-old son was on the couch. The two pit bulls came in. One went after Mayda, she threw her remote control at one of the pit bulls and temporarily startled him along with her screams. The other pit bull went after Brian. Mancha, Mayda's pet chihuahua, intercepted the pit bull and gave Brian enough time to go into the bedroom and slam the door shut. In the meantime the pit bull who went after Mayda also went to attack Mancha. Mancha fought back, but he was no match for two pit bulls. They mutilated him, but the family was safe. Mancha was a fearless hero. He saved three lives, but he lost his. Somebody told me that chihuahuas don't know that they are little. I guess that is a good thing. Particularly when one chihuahua thinks he is big enough to take on two pit bulls and saves three lives in the process.
