Be on your guard. The Shih Tzus are loose in east Cobb.
Residents of a condominium community on Powers Ferry Road have sounded the alarm that a pack of noisy, furry little dogs has been free-ranging on their property.
Four shaggy little dogs, bearing an uncanny resemblance to agitated rag mops with teeth, first appeared shortly before Thanksgiving.
Residents don’t know how the dogs, likely Shih Tzu mixes, shed their lives of domestication. Most recently, they have only spotted two of the dogs. Reportedly, one was killed a few weeks ago after straying onto nearby Powers Ferry Road. Another is, apparently, on the lam.
The skittish canines have run circles around would-be captors. They yap at anyone who tries to come close.
Condo resident Marti Kelefas said they have avoided being lassoed, netted or tricked into a cage.
Cobb animal control officers were called in and set a trap. They couldn’t nab the dogs but did snare someone’s long-haired cat.
One concerned neighbor suggested they use a tranquilizer gun, but officials pointed out those are normally reserved for large game, not 7-pound canines.
