MEXICAN FURY
By; Speaker Gerald A. Polley
I always admire animals' courage, continuing with
dogs I have met along the way. My aunt's Chihuahua has to
come to mind. My aunt had several little dogs over the
years and they all adored me, even whey they hated everybody
else, and this amazed my aunt! Her Pekinese would come
right up and get in my lap whenever I visited, and she wouldn't
get near anybody else. But their favorite dog was their
Chihuahua. He was a delight to everybody, and extremely
protective of the children. The neighbors had a boxer that
whenever he got loose terrorized the neighborhood until he was
retrieved. The children were out in the yard playing one
day, when the boxer came charging across the street heading
towards them menacingly.
The little Chihuahua came flying out of nowhere and began to
attack the boxer's rear. The boxer went crazy. Again
and again he tried to get at this flashing little terror that was
attacking him, but again and again the Chihuahua would charge in,
bite the boxer where he would notice it the most, and retreat
before the boxer could get ahold of him. I feared at any
moment, the little dog would get caught and it would all be over,
but I was too busy keeping the children away from the melee to
interfere!
Finally the boxer had had enough! Kiyiing at the top of his
lungs he retreated across the road and the triumphant Chihuahua
stood at the edge of the driveway barking insults, then snorted
and went back to his favorite resting place to be praised by the
children.
I just sat down on the grass and laughed and laughed! I had
never seen anything so hilarious in my life! That little
dog just totally humiliated his bigger and stronger adversary!
It is a lesson in life I have always respected...never
underestimate your adversary.
The poor boxer learned this the hard way!
