The Wild Chihuahuas of Mexico Traude Gomez Rhine 1º edição

The amazing tale of how a pack of wild Chihuahuas helped win the Mexican Revolution!

This daring adventure will give readers of all ages a view into the plucky tenacity of the mighty dogs who helped Pancho Villa and the Mexican people triumph.

Suddenly, the fur on Lola?s back stood straight up. ?We must find Pancho Villa,? she barked.

?What? What are you saying?? The eight dogs in Lola?s pack began to yap and yammer.

?If Pancho Villa is in trouble, we should try to help,? she said. ?And maybe, just maybe, Pancho Villa can help the Chihuahuas.?

?Why should we help him?? said Joaquin with an angry snarl, his mean eyes glaring. ?This is the craziest talk I?ve ever heard. I?m the leader now, remember?? He roughly commanded the other dogs: ?Let?s get out of here.?

As Lola watched them trot off, she felt desperate to keep hold of her pack, the only survivors of the more than one hundred desert dogs that ran strong when her father, the legendary Cuauhtémoc, led them. Lola made a big decision. She would unite her tired, hungry, and dirty dogs on a journey to find Pancho Villa, the great revolutionary leader.
