The woman told deputies she was in bed Wednesday evening when a man opened an unlocked door and entered her home, located in the 200 block of F Street, according to a news release from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
The intruder confronted the woman, pulling a gun from his waistband and making some type of statement to her, the release stated.
He was standing in the living room area when, according to the victim, her small dog attacked his leg. The man then left the home and fled in an unknown direction. Sheriff’s deputies then responded to the residence around 7:40 p.m., after receiving a call regarding a home invasion at the location, authorities said.

Snoopy?
Killer chihuahua? 8>)
I have a fifteen-pound Havanese, a great watch dog, and very protective. I think she would do it.
Might have been.
Small dogs don’t realize they’re small....They see themselves as Rottweilers,when we see them as small yappers
We have a 14 lb Chihuahua that will eat your shorts. The UPS guy will not come on the porch. LOL!
I’ll stick with Our 71# Deaf Boxer and Our 110# Cane Corso Italian Mastiff to cause a distraction till I cap the scumbag with a .45ACP.
Small dogs are highly underrated. I underrated them.
I was on a walk a few years ago when a small brown dog about 10 pounds, charged me. I was able to holler at it and make it back off. I continued my walk and the same thing happened on my return. In neither case had I provoked it by any normal standards.
Because of the numbers of kids in the area playing in the street, and observing similar behavior toward others on the part of the dog, I made a police report. The officer took it down and I could see it was not taken as a big deal.
After several hours, we had a knock on the door. The police officer who had checked out my report was himself attacked and only his thick boots protected him from injury. The dog was a menace and was eventually euthanized.
It made me sad, but this dog was going to injure someone seriously. There are a bunch of important arteries in the ankles and legs.
That crook was wise to get out of the house! In this case the small dog ferocity was appropriately placed! Thank God for our small protective friends.
If you think Americans don’t treat dogs well, take a trip to Europe. There, dying dogs wander the streets and empty lots, missing legs, with terrible wounds, afraid of people. It would make you cry. Here at home my sister-in-law and I saw a dog chained to a stake in a front yard, actually covered in ice, shivering. She stole it and it was the most loving, thankful doggie until it died a ripe old age. If you want a dog or cat, please adopt one from a shelter.
I have a chihuahua and a Shih tzu.
I dare anyone to come into this house unannounced.
You see that and you understand why the cops will always shoot your dog.
What’s less clear is why they expect the public to get all teary eyed when somebody shoots one of theirs.
Belgian Malinois. Where a German Shepherd jumps a Malinois flies.
My three raccoons will attack any intruder near the porch and begin to eat him for lunch. They are very territorial. My sister also had a raccoon that guarded her van.
The only reason small dogs get away with it is because the guy they are attacking really don’t want to kick them into the next world.
That works too!
