Danny Trejois saying goodbye to his beloved Chihuahua Dixie …a small but mighty pup who certainly made fans laugh, but Danny told TMZ she also struck fear into the hearts of his other pets.
Dixie died this week at the age of 16, and Danny is obviously heartbroken — but he told us he’s also filled with joy at the smiles and laughs the tough dog brought as he scared away his pit bulls and Rottweilers. As he puts it, Dixie ruled his household!

DT says fans were perplexed when they saw him with Dixie… most assumed he was holding two huge, brutal K-9s, but Dixie was his baby and always slept with her daddy.

Of all the badasses the icon has played, Danny says Dixie reminded him most of Isador “Machete” Cortez — she could be sweet, but she stayed out of her way… or else…
Danny broke the news of Dixie’s death on IG, writing… “Hold your babies tight for me please. Today I lost my little Dixie Wixie.”
DT has always loved dogs… in fact, he tells us that when he got out of prison, the first thing that happened was a random dog on the street jumped into his arms and gave him kisses… and he hopes that talking about Dixie will inspire someone to adopt.
Dixie has been cremated, and the family plans to hold a small gathering to honor her. Yes, the rotties and pit bulls are invited, too.
