Pearl the Chihuahua: World record for shortest living dog

Apr 27 2023

Guinness World Records have officially found the shortest living dog – and its a two-year old Chihuahua from Florida.

The dog has been named the world’s shortest dog by the record brand, and with reason, as the dog measures around the same length as a dollar bill.

She is 5 inches long and weights a tiny 1.22 pounds, which is a huge gain on the less than one ounce that she weighed at birth.

Pearl is in fact related to previous record holder Miracle Milly, who measured 3.8 inches tall but passedaway in 2020 before Pearl was born. Milly was an identical sister of Pearl’s mother, according to Guinness World Records.

Putting her up next to various objects shows just how tiny she actually is – almost shorter than a vertically held TV remote control. She can even fit perfectly in the palm of a hand or be placed in one’s pocket without an issue.

Moment owner and lost dog reunite after almost 3 month separation

Apr 26 2023

Parliamentary Secretary for Fishing, Aquaculture and Animal Rights Alicia Bugeja Said issued a video showing the moment an owner and his lost dog reunited in a shelter.

‘After 8 dogs were confiscated following an incident which occurred on the 18th of April 2023 in Imsida, one of the dog’s owners was identified’ said the Parliamentary Secretary, in reference to the case which saw a dog breeder attacked by dogs.

‘It was found that Blue’s (the dog) owner had been searching for her for a number of weeks’.

This suggests that Blue might have been found by Andre Galea, the breeder who was attacked in the streets of Imsida.

‘I extend my thanks to the Animal Welfare Directory for the work done after the confiscation to give the dogs the attention and cure needed’ said the Parliamentary secretary.
