Blown Away Chihuahua Reunited With Owners



Tinker Bell Comes Home!

Wonderful news for owners of little dogs around the world! Tinker Bell has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked up the six-pound Chihuahua and tossed her out of sight. Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them on Monday to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8-month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen. The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK.


My little guy...Cricket is such a heartbreaker!

The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit. Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away by the winds.

This is just terrifiying, as we have these kinds of winds in Colorado. It is not uncommon to take your dogs out, in this case my Chihuahua and Papillon and end up spending the afternoon flying them like kites!

Needless to say they are extremely worn out after such an experience.

Dorothy Utley, Tinker Bells Mommy told The Detroit News that her cherished Chihuahua "just went wild" upon seeing her.

We know, Dorothy, we know.

Yes, Cricket had his wind experience. I just don't take him out when it is blowing too hard. The little guy can't stand it. He is like a little kite.
