FREMONT, California - A pack of angry Chihuahuas attacked a police officer who was escorting a teenager home following a traffic stop, authorities said. The officer suffered minor injuries including bites to his ankle on Thursday when the five Chihuahuas escaped the 17-year-old boy's home and rushed the officer in the doorway, said Fremont detective Bill Veteran.

The teenager had been detained after the traffic incident, Veteran said.

The officer was treated at a local hospital and returned to work less than two hours later, Veteran said.

It was the third time this month a Fremont officer was bitten by a dog while on duty. Neither of the other officers were seriously injured.

And it was the second bizarre incident in as many hours for the Fremont Police Department.

Two hours earlier, a homeowner in Niles reported that an intruder broke into her home and added pornography to her computer.

The woman said she woke up and was startled to see a stranger typing away on her computer. The intruder fled, but left behind an altered screen saver that featured images of "erotic Indian art," Veteran said.

Nothing was reported stolen, and neither the woman nor her nine-year- old daughter was hurt, he said.

Fremont is about 35 miles (56 kilometers) southwest of San Fransisco.

Local news like this is actually interesting.
OOOOO a condo burned in south Seattle this morning! Show the firemen putting it out! Great!

There would be 5 dead chihuahas if I was that cop.

Mr. Kentuckyfriedcruelty.com and his friends would be after you then.

No, I think even PETA hates chihuahas.

It's true.

They're one of the most useless dog breeds actually.

And they're mean little fuckers.

They were bred to catch cockroaches.

see, i have often wondered how far i could thrown one

im betting, a good solid 50 feet

Hope 'killer' isn't too hungry today.

They sure did a great job of that.

I'm thinking about trying a punt.

By the way, this is the best news story ever.
