Pearl is no ordinary handbag dog. She’s so tiny, her owner can just slip her into her pocket.
The two-year-old chihuahua, who measures around the same length as a dollar bill, has been named the world’s shortest dog byBorn in Florida on September 1 2020, Pearl is shorter than a Popsicle stick at just 3.59 inches tall. She is 5 inches long — around the same as a dollar bill — and weighs a tiny 1.22 pounds, a huge gain on the less than one ounce that she weighed at birth.Pearl is related to previous record holder Miracle Milly, who measured 3.8 inches tall.
Her owner Vanesa Semler, who was also the owner of Miracle Milly, told Guinness World Records: “We’re blessed to have her. And to have this unique opportunity to break our own record and share with the world this amazing news.”Appearing alongside her at the studio in Milan, Semler said Pearl was “a bit of a diva,” though she seemed calm and unfazed in front of the live studio audience.
She also loves “dressing up nice,” according to Semler. “We have lots of fun together,” she said, adding that her adult dog is still a “child at heart.”
