Vivian Ashe leaves her pet chihuahua Chloe with her irresponsible niece Rachel. However, when Rachel decides to go to Mexico with her friends, Chloe gets dognapped. She is sent to the dog fights, and meets a German Shepherd named Delgado. Delgado helps her escape the dog fights and attempts to get her back to Beverly Hills. Meanwhile, Rachel is searching for Chloe with Sam and Papi, landscaper and dog before Aunt Viv gets home.

When Delgado was talking to his friend from when he was in the Mexican Police, Chloe encounters a pack rat named Manuel trying to steal Chloe's diamond collar. She is tricked into giving him the collar, which was going to be used to get her home. When Delgado and Chloe was smuggled by a Coyote in a train, Delgado created a diversion to so that Chloe wouldn't get caught by the train crew. But after Delgado jumped off the train, Chloe jumped with him. When they walked across the Chihuahua Desert, Delgado told Chloe how he lost his sense of smell, when Delgado and his partner were searching for a suspect, he was ambushed by El Diablo and his owner. When he woke up his partner was seriously wounded and was never the same after that night. Either was Delgado because the next morning, he completely lost his sense of smell. El Diablo, a fierce Argentinan mix Bolivian Doberman Pinscher, is sent by the dog fight ringleader to capture Chloe for the reward.

Later on, Manuel is seen with the collar by Delgado, so Manuel switches sides and helps Delgado find his sense of smell. Delgado sniffs the collar and gets his sense of smell back. He finds Chloe and she returns to Beverly Hills. Delgado gets a job with the police, and El Diablo runs away. Chloe and Papi go on a date by the gazebo and Chloe licks him on the face. Papi mentions that there might be a few miniature baby Chihuahuas in their futures. The two stray dogs that Sam and Rachel adopt on the trail of Chloe go to good homes too. El Diablo is adopted by a lady who has a passion for fashion. Sam and Rachel as well start to date.

Love this movie a lot, its funny and nice to see all these cute dogs in human-like motion. And its always very hard to direct a animal-film especially this one... the way they move and the action the animal makes, a big applause for the production team.

But of course, i would definitely wont dress my dogs like this... lol
