Blotter: Mystery Chihuahua Invades Home, Bites Man

The following information was supplied by the Goose Creek Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.

Some people are usually worried that an open door will let flies in. It's rarely the case that you've got to worry about a stray chihuahua — a breed known more for their bark than their bite. Nevertheless, a man contacted police last week due to a mysterious dog attack. 

The Woodland Heights resident told officers that he'd left his front door open and a small black chihuahua came into the home and ran into the kitchen.

The dog had allegedly defecated throughout the house. When the man leaned down to pick the dog up, it allegedly bit him several times on the hand before running out the front door.

The man said he'd never seen the dog before. The animal was also described as having a slight rust or yellow color in its coat.
