The meanest friendliest stray pitbull ever?



No man, woman, or, child is safe, or at least there umbrella isn't on a rainy day in Santiago. Apparently, he was at this for over two weeks and literally became a national sensation known as the "Pitbull, umbrella thief." I wouldn't be surprised if there was a nearby mastermind umbrella salesman who sent the pitbull out on this mission, especially given he has a camo jacket on.

If you were wondering about the fate of the umbrella bandit, it is a happy one. After his sudden rise to fame, the pitbull was adopted and named, Felipe, after the popular actor and host of "Good Morning, Chile," Felipe Camiroaga. (On a less happy note they cut off Felipe's manhood upon adoption). They also narrowed it down to two reasons as to why Felipe went after the umbrellas: 1) Felipe watched Mary Poppins too many times as a puppy and was afraid people were going to fly away when they opened their umbrellas or 2) he was trained with some type of pole, that was similar in shape to an umbrella, thus causing him to react so aggressively to the offending object.
