The old expression, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog," proved true Tuesday morning for a Wenatchee family. Wenatchee Police say a male intruder had broken into a home and was going through the family's refrigerator when a 3-pound chihuahua named Bean alerted the family by growling and barking. The intruder left the residence but officers caught him a short distance away from the home. Wenatchee PD did not identify the name of the burglar or give any details as to the home or family.
