Locals fear Shih Tzu pack ... really. no shit. I am SERIOUS.
(UPI) -- A small pack of feral, and very small, Shih Tzus has been evading capture at a Georgia condominium complex.
"Man-o-man! Them Sheetzoos might be small, but they are firece and fast too. And smart!"
The group of four dogs first showed up at the Covered Bridge complex in Cobb County in the Atlanta suburbs around Thanksgiving. Since then, two of them have disappeared, including one believed to have been killed by a car.
"We believe that one was picked up by that UFO that just showed up at that time over by Billy Bob's spread."
The two remaining dogs appear to have reverted to their wild roots as the alpha male and female of their own small wolf pack -- albeit fluffy puppies wolves that weigh about 70 pounds each. They have successfully evaded efforts by Covered Bridge residents, the manager and Cobb County animal control officers to trap them, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
"Wolves, I tell ya! Even worse with those short faces and big jaws. And they literally laughed at our traps we set for them. Spotted every dayum one."
Tranquilizer guns are, apparently, not in order because they are designed for larger animals.
"Joe Hector has a .170 air rifle he wants to use on them."
Gabriella Toth, a resident, is trying to catch the dogs with kindness -- providing food, water and even a dog house. She hopes eventually to give them a permanent home.
Same woman as the one in Lake Placid?
"People act as if they are 400-pound tigers," she said. "They bark a lot, but they are scared and don't know what else to do."
"They are just looking for a neurotic woman to obsess over them, the little sweeties"
