“… mommy, the picture of the dog on this sign is 7 times my size!”
molly, a three-pound teacup chihuahua, has been handed a dangerous dog designation by the city of windsor, ontario in canada after allegedly biting a mail carrier on the ankle. this designation came with a host of conditions that included having to post “beware of dangerous dog” signs and stickers on the doors of her home and muzzling her if she is taken outside. she also had to have a microchip implanted that identifies her as a dangerous dog.
“I don’t even know if they have muzzles that size — I just think it’s kinda silly, to the extreme, especially when she has never bitten anyone before”, says Mitzie Scott, Molly’s co-owner.
“It’s a joke,” said jason Scott, molly’s other owner, adding that Molly is “the size of a shoe!”
what do you think? does molly really fall under the designation of dangerous dog?

They must be joking!!!!
aww did the wittle mail person need a bandaid! ROFLMAO!
Oh My Gosh! I have a 3 lb Chihuahua myself! I believe the postmaster is going over board!
I ALSO HAVE A 3LB TEACUP CHIHUAHUA. SHE CAN BE VICIOUS AT TIMES. BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SMALL, THEY MUST PROTECT THEMSELVES. MY XENA HAS BITTEN BEFORE AND IT DOESNT REALLY HURT CAUSE HER TEETH ARE SO SMALL. tHESE PEOPLE ARE GOING WAY OVERBOARD.
My 8 lbs chihuahua is a snapper to strangers only, BUT COME ON, TO CALL HER A DANGEROUS DOG, THAT IS CRAZY.
You have GOt to be kidding me!
pitbulls can be categorized as dangerous without ever having a bite record. as far as I’m concerned, this is a step in the right direction. a small dog bites and people think it’s cute. a big dog bites and they ask for them to be put to death.
I love our chihuahua, but I have seen small dogs that I do not love because of their aggressively bad behaviour. they are a problem and should most definitely be deal t with in this manner.
She’s so tiny…I doubt she did any damage to the mail carrier. I Don’t believe she should be deemed as being dangerous.
