The girls, ages 5 and 8, disappeared Monday for a couple of hours when they were walking on trails near their neighborhood about 30 miles southwest of Atlanta. As police and firefighters began to search for the girls, neighbor Carvin Young grabbed his 3-year-old Chihuahua and joined the search.

(30,947 posts)She is sweet as can be with me, but she hates everyone else. Yes, they are excellent guard dogs. I had a Rottweiler, but this Chihuahua was the guard dog. My son gave her to me when she was just 6 weeks old. He has a kennel and breeds Chihuahuas and French bulldogs. When I drive up to his house, I am greeted with a chorus of yapping dogs, mostly the Chihuahuas.
