First thing I thought of also.

Plus my one cat weighs 14 pounds and would probably kill the little thing just by sitting on it.

Hard to believe that this is descended from wolves.

And, all within 15,000 years.

I hope like hell that the dog is a runt, and that they didn't intentionally breed the animal like that.

I have a Chihuahua and trust me, they are very adept at getting out of people's way before they get stepped on.

I bet if it's anything like a chihuahua(Which is looks like part chihuahua), I'd probably strangle it due to it's incessant yelping. My neighbors had a chihuahua(Decent sized one) and it's loud, high-pitched squeaky noises made me want to gouge my ears out.

Mine never barks at all. Minor whining when it really needs to go outside, but that's it. I think it does not know how to bark.

The article said it cannot bark because its lungs are too small. I bet it's not very loud even when it tries to be.

I love dogs but don't understand why people like small breeds. To me a dog is an animal you can feel is your buddy, someone you can go over to and hug and have lick your face. A more 1 on 1 friendship. These things are just ornaments. They should all be euthanized, hmm maybe that's a bit far but you get my point.

Damn, that makes our 5 lb. yorkie look like a monster...

But she's cute as hell...I don't think I'd want one that small, but she IS cute.
