An owl attack has left a 4-pound Chihuahua refusing to
go out at night. Chico was out for a walk with his owner,
George Kalomiris, in Crystal Lake, Ill., last week, when
a great horned owl swooped down and tried to fly away
with the dog. Kalomiris kept a firm grip on Chico’s leash
as the bird dragged the dog across the sidewalk, and
he managed to scare the owl away. (AP)

force, which did see a small drop in suicides, from 162 in 2009 to 156 last year. (THE WASHINGTON POST)
