Awww!
Chico, a 4-pound Chihuahua was almost snatched up by a great horned owl while out for a walk with his owner, George Kalomiris, in a Chicago suburb.
The owl swooped down and snatched Chico, but luckily Kalomiris held onto the leash and was able to scare the creature of the night off.
So scary, but we’re glad he made it!
Chico may be recovering from minor puncture wounds from the owl’s talons, but he may be scarred for life with a fear of the night.
Kalomiris says Chico still refuses to step outside at night.
Well, if there are hungry owls in the neighborhood, it might not be a bad idea to keep the 4-pound dog inside at night.
