Pet owners with tiny pooches or even small, indoor/outdoor cats may need keep an extra watchful eye.
The Cleveland, Ohio, National Weather Service issued what it called an "unofficial small dog warning" wind advisory Tuesday through Wednesday for northern Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania.
The NWS said wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph could blow down trees, cause power outages and may blow a small dog away.
“Hold on to your Pooch!” the organization said in a tweet.
The warning may be funny, but it's not impossible. In 2009, a 6-pound Chihuahua named Tinkerbell was blown more than a mile away by 70 mph winds in Michigan.
