Personally I think the neighbor had it in for the dog. Probably barked. Like most dogs.

In before Tribesman.......dog off the lease. He is supposed to be leased. The dog was in attack mod. Gun owner had every right to blow the dog to the next county by current laws. Good day!

Probably did with one shot. I agree with everyone else, the dog would've scratched up the ankles, but that's about it. I agree the shooter had the right, but did indeed over-do it. The whole situation looks bad on us responsible pet owners and gun owners.

Stupid owner and stupid neighbour.

Yes but a fence is no barrier to a six inch attack puppy.

Yes, this has been observed.

Break out the heavy artillery!

Not that I approve of anyone shooting any dog except maybe a rabid one - but I would point out, that those in the field of veterinary medicine (at least in my area) have a nickname for Chihuahua's. They call them, "Land sharks". You wouldn't think it because of their size and cuteness, but they can be aggressive and are prone to biting anyone not their owner. My wife is more on guard around a Chihuahua then most other breeds, excepting perhaps Alaskan Huskies or similar sled dog breeds. They don't give any warning before they bite apparently.
