Police: Angry Dog Owner Used Dead Puppy As Weapon
KUTV (Associated Press) ^ | 6/9/06

(AP) ST. PETERS, Mo. Having your new puppy die can be tough. But it may have pushed one Missouri woman over the edge.

Investigators say she went back to the breeder's home and forced her way in. A fight broke out, and eventually the two women ended up on the porch. That's where police say the angry owner used the dead Chihuahua puppy to repeatedly whack the breeder over the head.

According to the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch, the breeder told a neighbor to call police. That led the dog owner to get in her car -- taking the dead puppy with her, which she waved from the sunroof as she drove off.

Police aren't identifying the woman, but say she could face burglary and assault charges. The breeder wasn't seriously hurt.

Wouldn't think so.
After all it was a Chihuahua puppy the woman used.
It'd be like hitting her with a slice of bread.
Strange story.

Chihuahuas were not bred as dogs.
They were bred as a walking larder.
That is not the correct way to tenderize meat.

Was the chihuahua female? If so, I guess it's the first ever real case of a BITCH SLAPPING!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Thanks! I'm here all week!

We are entering the dog days of summer so it makes sense.

If the weapon was more feline related, I suppose we would now have 102 Things to Do With A Dead Cat.

Assault with a dead weapon is a serious charge.

Never bring a Chihuahua to a cat fight.

Are you suggesting that Chihuahuas are preferred if someone wants to "wok" the dog?
