Holly: I don’t see why you need to get rude about this. You have something of a point, but there are nicer and more constructive ways to phrase it. You should pick your cussing battles with more wisdom.

As a mom to several rescue dogs, I think this story is amazing. It’s always nice to see that not everyone thinks they should be dumped by the road or starved and otherwise neglected when they outgrow the puppy stage. But I am disappointed to see that you linked the HSUS. Petfinder may have been a better choice. Let’s not forget that PeTA and the HSUS are the biggest supporters of BSL and they believe that no one should have pets. They’re very closely aligned and since PeTA is known for killing over 97% of the pets they take in, surely there’s a better way to point people towards adoptions than linking one of the richest and most corrupt animal rights, not to be confused with animal welfare, organizations in the world. The HSUS doesn’t run shelters. They just take money and use it to further their insane agenda.

I’m not trying to be rude or mean, I just don’t see a “cuteness” to these dogs. I do think this is a great thing for any dog to have – is it hard for dogs to learn to “walk” or roll like this?

To all the Chihuaha lovers and owners here: I may hate Chihuahas myself (that’s why I made those sarcastic quips and I do stand by them), but rest assured that I find it delightful that you love yours. All animals deserve to be loved and protected and if you love your Chihuaha, more power to you. I am sure they, just like any other pet that is loved and taken care of, give back lots of love and affection. Even if it’s by yapping incessantly to warn you about the solicitors

Strawberry: personally, I don’t find Chihuahas cuter than anything, let alone starving orphans. But Codzilla is right, in this thread, we were all thinking about dogs and not so focused on human beings. As for my comment saddening you, I’m sorry if it did but that is my opinion. There are days where I really wonder if we are all that. Note the “WE” please.

Strawberry: I’m sure most of the posters here don’t prefer Chihuahuas to starving children (what a ridiculous accusation), but the story itself is about animal rescue, hence the responses would follow suit. Now go away and let us fawn in peace.

@Anna…..your comment just made me reall really sad. Just to let you know.

@Blanche…thanks for the news flash *puts sunglasses on.
I’m just saying that $1000 might have saved the life of the poorest of poorest human beings.
What is a dog’s wheelie compared to a saved human life?

Doesn’t mean these dogs don’t deserve attention and care, that’s not what I mean. I think we all lost a bit the imagination of the value of a human life and prefer chihuahuas because they are cuter than stick-thin dirty ill children.
Very sad tis attitude, honestly.

“What about donating $1000 to starving kids in poverty??? Is humanity not a better investment?”

Newsflash Strawberry…you can donate money to humanity AND animals. We are all one big family.
Jesus loves us all, canines included.

Hey – no hatin’ on the chi-chis.

My mommie adopts and rehabs “nervous” chihuahuas ( I know, I didn’t think there was any other kind of chihuahua, either). All the puppies we’ve ever had at my parents house were chihuahuas, and those little apple domes grow on ya. I’ve forwarded this story to her, and I’m pretty sure next time I visit, I’ll have to watch out for these legless critters underfoot.

It’s so sweet to see these little guys truck around and have a great quality of life. !Viven los chi-chis!

Hey now! I have a chihuahua and while she does have stinky breath I don’t know many dogs that don’t. And, yes, she does bark but at least I know when those f-ing solictors are walking up my sidewalk! And, just for the record, I don’t golf.

Those doggies are so freaking cute. I am a HUGE animal lover and it is so awesome to see people contributing their time and energy to such a great cause.
