Sneaky Little Dog

I was visiting my sister today. She was making lunch for us, and went into another room for a second. I heard a thump from the kitchen and then, a few second later, what sounded like two dogs fighting. My sister came running back into the kitchen and started yelling! Turns out that she he put a cooked chicken breast on a plate and set it on the cutting board. It was out of the reach of her, 13 year old, little Mini dachshund, Pico. But, she didn't notice that her Chow/Lab mix, Smokey, who's about 2 1/2 years old, had come in from the backyard. He pulled the plate down and dumped the chicken on the floor. But, before he could eat it, Pico attacked him. You are talking about a little 8 pound weiner dog taking on a 55 pound chow mix. Well, believe it or not, Pico is the alpha dog of the three dogs my sister owns, so Smokey backed off and let the little sneak eat the chicken breast. Smokey lets Pico push him around. Maybe it's because Pico's so old.
