Chihuahua w. a min-pin heart, dies in the line of duty

I've always had Min-pins (miniature pinchers). 

They are not as common of a bread as Chihuahua's and they look similar, so I always have gotten; "oh what cute Chihuahuas" from everyone on the street.

Chihuahuas are cute dogs so I don't mind really. Internally I have always felt I could own one. I think the main reason being that even though I love little dogs, (circumstance, apartment living) Chihuahuas have always seemed to me to be alot of all bark/no bite. I'm obviously generalizing here BUT,....well, u know what I mean. Min-Pin's on the other hand tend to be oblivious to there size. There are a lot of barking min-pins but they bark (pardon me while I giggle) to warm you there coming....lol

Whether they can even make a dent in their opponent, is not of their concern.  The picture on the right was my oldest lovingly playing with one of her pups, a couple years ago. They are also not the best lap dogs till they get older cause, untill age gets to them they are more consumed by being hyper, brave and well -unstoppable!

Chihuahuas generally are not thought of as unstoppable, I think they look cute in a purse sure, but not really unstoppable?

≈Every now and then life brings you to a story they shows you beauty in the circle of life and also how small minded opinions and; cliche's we hold can be. Mancha's's story was just that for me.

I just want 2 say that I have gotten close to a couple of pitbulls and they also can be sweet dogs. I think sometimes they get a bad rap, at times deserved, other times not. I didn't want 2 make any animal the antagonist in this post. Just recognize a little dog with a big heart! 

U tha dawg Manchas!
