The Running of the Chihuahuas Hits the Streets of Chattanooga

Pamplona has the bulls, Chattanooga has Chihuahuas.

Chattanooga radio station The Mountain sponsored the first annual Running of the Chihuahuas Monday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Twenty-one Chihuahuas and their owners faced off in fierce head-to-head competition to prove once and for all who's top dog.

"Actually did get her out in the yard today and practiced a couple of times with treats from the refrigerator," Smith said Monday.  "We saw all of the other dogs and were nervous, but she actually came through for us."

Even though a chew toy was reported down at the finish line, no chihuahuas were injured in the filming of this story.
