One of the fun aspects of living in many parts of Missouri is you never know when your front yard can suddenly become a scene from Wild Kingdom. That happened in a Missouri neighborhood recently when a herd of deer met a fierce defender - a crazy chihuahua.

I'm gonna guess that Chris McPhail is gonna be a little surprised that I'm sharing his video since he only has a grand total of 3 subscribers as of now. Perhaps he'll get a few more now as he's just shared a fun video of what happened when a small herd of does ended up meandering down the street in his Missouri neighborhood. A Chihuahua did not seem pleased that the cast of Bambi decided to invade what is clearly his property.

The American Kennel Club describes chihuahuas as "smart, graceful and sassy". I've not been around a graceful chihuahua, but I do know they're smart and most definitely sassy. These small dogs are very territorial, so I'm not surprised at all that he/she is greatly offended that a herd of deer would dare violate his/her space.

Like I said, your neighborhood suddenly becoming Marlin Perkin's Wild Kingdom is a fringe benefit of living in Missouri.
