Chico survives owl attack


In this photo taken Jan. 13, 2011 and provided by the Kalomiris family, Dana Kalomiris holds the family dog, Chico, a 4-pound Chihuahua with a puncture wound on its side, early last Wednesday morning after the dog was attacked by a great horned owl late Tuesday while out on a walk with owner George Kalomiris in Cryatal Lake, Ill. Kalomiris says he 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. Kalomiris says the dog now refuses to go outside at night.
