I'd love to see some news stories about those chihuahua attacks!
The recount from the victim would probably be pretty good, how he fended off 4 lbs. of pure terror.
AP Wire, San Diego, CA: Pedro Jiminez relives the day when he almost became yet another needless statistic in the string of fatal and near fatal Chihuahua attacks.
"I was just walkin' down the street, minding my own business. The beast was on the other side of the street. I made the mistake of making eye contact, which it viewed as a sign of weakness, I guess."
Without warning, the loose animal sprinted across the street, and threw itself at the terrified Jiminez.
"He leaped through the air, man, I didn't think he could get up so high!" Jiminez says softly, as he recounts how the creature latched onto his pant leg, several inches above his ankle. "I'm just glad that thing couldn't jump 3 feet higher, if ya know what I mean," Jiminez joked, without a smile. "Or, if it had been able to penetrate through my pants - it could have maybe broken my skin!"
After having to shake his leg several times to dislodge the crazed monster, the onslaught continued, as the animal ran about, yapping incessantly.
The terror continued, until the quick-thinking Jiminez, drawing on his days on the soccer fields of his native San Felipe, punted the would-be-killer canine a distance of approximately 23 feet. "At that point, I figured it was either me or him," Jiminez said with a shrug. "Plus, that yapping was getting really annoying."
