Chortle of the Day

This is one of those things that you are not supposed to find funny, because someone was injured, even if just on the ankle:

FREMONT, Calif. - A pack of angry Chihuahuas attacked a police officer who was escorting a teenager home after a traffic stop, authorities said.

The officer suffered minor injuries, including bites to his ankle, Detective Bill Veteran said.

The five Chihuahuas escaped the 17-year-old boy's home and rushed the officer in the doorway Thursday, authorities said. The teenager had been detained after the traffic incident.
On this, the dawn of a new year, thanks be to God that we still live in a world where you can read a headline containing the phrase "pack of angry chihuahuas." For that, I am deeply grateful.
