'So much sass in those barks': 13-year-old three-legged feisty Chihuahua scares off a coyote using only her pure Chihuahua terror

It's all about the confidence.

Chiquita the Chihuahua is the eldest of her many fur siblings, being 13 years old (almost 70 years old in small dog years), yet still the smallest in size. She weighs even less than your average Chihuahua because she is missing a leg. However, that has never seemed to slow little Chiquita down, according to her mom Ellie Becker in the comments of her TikTok. “She has always been a feisty,” Becker posts.

The little chihuahua was enjoying a nice sunny day out on her porch, looking over her kingdom as the feisty queen she is, when a trespasser sneaks up on her. To the horror of any dog owner, it was a coyote. The coyote just seemed like it may have been simply crossing her territory. However, the coyote must not have realized that they were crossing the land of her royal feisty highness herself.

Chiquita immediately went into action to see who this trespasser was, but got spooked at first and tried to ran away. As coyotes do, the skinny guy started to follow her. However, she quickly realized who she was and turned the tables on the wild animal by using her pure Chihuahua terror instincts. Soon, she had her carnivorous cousin running away with his tail behind his legs.

When she felt the coyote was distant enough, she hopped back over on her little three legs, giving sassy barks, as if she was annoyed she even had to deal with this inconvenience herself and not her security duty. Her dog parents, aka her security duty, profusely apologized and promised to never leave her unattended outside again. However, they also heavily rewarded her for her bravery with lots of treats and pets. See for yourself below!
