Totally agree. My mom has a chihuahua named cricket. They treat it like any other dog and it's the sweetest little thing. She'll bark when someone comes to the door, but once they are inside she tries to play with them. Strangers included. She'll bring her toys over to you and drop them at your feet so you can throw them. The chihuahua actually fetches. It's pretty cool because she's totally opposite of how you think a chihuahua should act. I call her a Mexican Retriever. haha
