*RealityIsUnrealistic: The dog fighting scene has many people puzzled over why would a Chihuahua, domesticated or otherwise would be placed against a Rottweiler that clearly has a refined killer instinct, resulting in a one-sided match. This is actually a phenomenon in real life dogfighting known as "dog baiting", in where small dogs were pitted against larger dogs on purpose to maximize the latters' killer instincts. The only mistake they made would be that the larger dog in question will be less likely to maim and kill than El Diablo and be probably just as scared and confused as Chloe was.
