Let’s be honest with one another . . . Chihuahuas are incredible animals that are truly the greatest gift to mankind. Chihuahuas trump puggles, cats, and battle-ready flamingos in every single category that one should consider when pondering the life-long existential question that is: “What makes an animal the greatest?” For starters, Chihuahuas are an excellent line of defense should any threats to your well-being arise. Who wouldn’t want a tiny dog to wake you up at two in the morning with its piercingly shrill bark to alert you that a leaf had blown across the yard or another dog has the nerve to put just one paw in your yard.

Also, Chihuahuas make the best animals to hang out with when your at home watching TV, a movie, or trying to read. When I’m at home chilling on the couch (probably watching “Twin Peaks” or “Seinfeld”) my chihuahua, Kramer (who is named after the “Seinfeld” character Cosmo Kramer) will get right up next to me and just lay there or will get right up in my face to ensure that I pay attention to him. Chihuahuas also easily get hot, so in the winter seasons, having a Chihuahua lay next to you is the equivalent of having your own personal space heater glued to your side causing your body to heat to a whopping 1000 degrees fahrenheit.

Chihuahuas also have an interesting personality. For example, my chihuahua always puts food in his mouth and takes it to an undisclosed location to partake in the eating of the meal. He always switches the location, so there’s always a 1/100 chance of knowing where he is when he gets fed.

Chihuahuas are truly the bestest puppers.
