Eddie the Terrible is a naughty Chihuahua from the Silicon Valley Humane Society who has been dubbed America’s worst dog. Since the bad-tempered little guy had been waiting for a home for almost two years, the Humane Society tried a different approach in order to find someone who would be willing to adopt him. They posted a brutally honest blog listing all the possible reasons a person would never want to adopt him and it actually worked!

Deborah and Randolph Espinoza heard about the mischievous Chihuahua and instantly fell in love with him.

“When I saw his face, that’s when I said, ‘Wow, that is a cute dog’. We found the perfect dog for our family.”

Eddie you little rascal, good luck with your new family!
