Chihuahua escapes owl attack

FLAGSTAFF, Arizona -- You may think you had a bad morning, but then again, you haven't met Nacho the Chihuahua.

The little guy survived quite an ordeal near Flagstaff after getting scooped up by an owl and taken on a wild ride.

Nacho may look like a pirate now, but earlier he looked pretty tasty to an owl.

Unfortunately, surgeons were forced to remove his right eye.

Only Nacho knows how he escaped from the owl's grasp but he's not ready to talk about it. Hospital staff are careful not to mention anything about an O-W-L or hoot around the recovering pup.

Nacho's owners say they'll be keeping him away from aerial predators, which is just fine with him.
