PHILOMATH, Ore. (AP) — A big cat picked the wrong little dogs for a fight. Chiquita the Chihuahua and Rosie the border terrier chased off a cougar that strayed into this small town near the Oregon State University campus. The dogs' owner, Loren Wingert, said Chiquita and Rosie are tough, but lucky. The cougar pinned down Rosie, who squealed, but Chiquita convinced the big cat to flee by barking ferociously. Wingert lives in a cul-de-sac atop a hill that backs up to a wooded area with deer trails. Warning signs about cougars are posted on the trails. Wingert said the dogs are fine.
