Britain’s tiniest puppy Mini
Resting on the palm puppy is a Yorkshire terrier Chihuahua-cross, and her owner is Emma Williams. Born very tiny, the little puppy Mini was three times less than her brothers and sisters in size. Besides, she weighed no more than an egg and just 1.3 ounces at birth. Meanwhile, as well as Mini feeding from her mother, Emma gives her a milk formula every two hours through a tube to boost her chances of survival. Now one week-old, the tiny dog has reached 1.9 ounces, which allows her to rejoin her siblings. According to the vet, she will only be about 1.5 pounds when she is fully grown.

However, the article on Daily mail is full of controversial comments, and I have chosen one sensible comment. “This puppy will get offers of big money since she’s so unique and so many people want the ” teacup” pups…I also volunteer at a shelter and it’s the large dogs who stay around forever. Fortunately, our community has a no- kill policy and a very high adoption rate. I agree with everyone else who says stop breeding puppies”.
