Amber Dilena, a volunteer with Kinder4Rescue, a non-profit animal rescue group, gets a kiss from a rescued Chihuahua named: 'Giganton,' the Big Giant in Spanish, at the Northeast Valley Animal Care Center, in Mission Hills, Calif. on Friday, Dec. 18, 2009. The dog is part of the 'Project Flying Chihuahua,'' a new initiative that transports Chihuahuas to the East Coast for adoption. The program was created in response to the overabundance of the breed in the Los Angeles area and the scarcity of the dog in the Northeast.
