Danny Trejo‘s says goodbye to his beloved Chihuahua Dixie …a mini-yet-mighty dog who certainly made fans laugh, but Danny tells TMZ she’s also struck fear into the hearts of his other pets.
Dixie died this week at the age of 16, and Danny is clearly heartbroken, but he told us he’s also full of joy because of the smiles and laughs the tough-as-nails dog brought to life by scaring the hell out of his pit bulls and Rottweilers. As he puts it: Dixie ran his house!

DT says fans were stunned to see him with Dixie…whom they most thought was him holding off two huge, brutal K-9s, but Dixie was his baby and always slept with daddy.
Of all the bad things the icon has played, Danny says Dixie reminded him most of Isador “Machete” Cortez – she could be sweet, but stay out of the 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 when he was released from 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 it’s about Dixie inspires someone to adopt.
Dixie was cremated and the family plans to hold a small gathering to honor her. Yes, the rotties and pit bulls are invited too.
REST IN PEACE
