Chihuahua terrorizes Ind. postal workers

HOBART, Ind. -- While there's nothing special about U.S. Postal Service workers being terrorized by dogs, the size of one here is raising eyebrows.
Mail carriers said they were recently unable to deliver mail to homes along a section of Guyer Street in this northwestern Indiana city because of a 4.5-pound Chihuahua named Bobo.
"The little Chihuahua was 10-foot tall when he was on the street," said Florence Page of the Hobart Humane Society, which picked up the dog twice for running loose. "It's kind of comical, you know, but after a while it's not any more."
She said there were no reports of the dog actually biting anyone, however.
Police have nonetheless ticketed the dog's owner, Vicki Seber, twice in recent weeks for violating a city ordinance requiring pet owners to keep their animals restrained.
Hobart police officer Ron Schalk said he had no option but to cite Seber for allowing the dog to run loose.
"The biggest thing I was concerned with is there were a lot of residents that week who couldn't get their mail," he said. "The little Chihuahua was running around being aggressive and trying to bite people's ankles."

Give me a break! What a wussy society we're becoming.
I remember being terrorized by one of those dogs when I was a kid. They are crazed animals!
Perhaps we should send BoBo to our border with Mexico!!!lol
Looks pretty scary to me.
Yes they are! I was attacked by one when I was a kid too. Then I punted the little bastard! Never happened again.
i love dogs, but if attacked by a rat dog my suggestion is to punt.
But nobody said nothin' about Chihuahuas!
Yeah, those little doggies can be a real pain -- got chewed by a snippy little Yorkie once time.
Love dogs though :>)
It's worse when they've been dining in the kitty litter box...
My grandparents-in-law had a chihuahua for years. . Gizmo. He *hated* me for no apparent reason. I'd walk in their house and he'd come bite me.
Gizmo was fat too. Probably a 12 lb chihuahua. But geez I was glad when he finally died.
All that you had to do to stop the terror was to stomp on that little mouse!
He's obviously high on PCP*.

You drop kick the little $hits like you should, and you wind up hauled off to jail for animal abuse... Gotta love the mixed up world we live in.
Punting crossed my mind - but then I had visions of him latched on my ankle for life! I was 8 years old and am still in therapy (just kidding).
