Chihuahua saves older couple....

[steph9700]

about 2 years ago a friend of mine that lived down the road from my parents was woken up by his wifes dog Pepper. she was scratching the bed and jumping up and down and barking frantically. He hated the dog and just thought she needed to go out so he got up and noticed when he went to the door he normally goes out that the handle was very hot. come to find out a car in the garage had caught the house on fire and Pepper had saved their lives by getting them up and out of the house. My friend now says Pepper can do whatever she wants when she wants cause she saved his life. Pepper agrees.
true story, my friend doesn't want his name on the internet though so I will leave it like it is.

Chihuahua helps police find suspect
Thu Dec 27, 10:20 PM ET

A three-pound Chihuahua mix named Tink helped police put a fugitive in the clink.

The dog's Christmas Day adventure began when four suspects who were fleeing police crashed a stolen minivan into a hillside in this Sierra foothill town east of Sacramento, and one of them fled.

Tink, a Pomeranian and Chihuahua mix, found him hiding under a neighbor's motor home and chased him into the woods, said Wendy Anderson. The dog belongs to her son.

Her son and husband directed a law enforcement helicopter to where the 20-year-old man was hiding.

"The Chihuahua gave him up," California Highway Patrol officer Jeff Herbert said.

The three other suspects, including the driver, were juveniles from the San Francisco Bay area, Herbert said. The suspect who fled was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and resisting arrest.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, felony evading, driving without a license and resisting arrest, Herbert said. The other two suspects were released to their parents.
