If you thought chihuahuas couldn't get any more spazzy, think again. One of the pint-sized pups was brought in to a Washington veterinarian, who suspected the dog was tweaking out on crystal meth.
An employee at the Tacoma pet clinic called the police when a 40-year-old man and his dog showed up for their appointment acting erratically. When clinic techs successfully scanned the pooch for a tracking microchip, they discovered that a 58-year-old woman had reported it missing a year ago.
The woman declined to press charges, saying she only wanted her dog back (aww). The man claims he didn't steal the chihuahua, but received it as payment for a debt.
Miniature-dog exploitation is nothing new -- the Mexican jumping beans are already purse-stuffers, taco endorsers and movie stars (that's a pic from "No Country for Little Chihuahuas," fyi). But are chihuahuas now replacing cash as the currency of the future? In this economy, we'd believe anything.
