I have a pet guinea pig (long story) and it could kick this thing's butt... six-inch-long Brandy, a sort-of-chihuahua-looking thing, just entered the Guinness Book of Records as the World's Smallest Dog. She weighs 2 pounds and stands about as high as a 12-ounce soda can. Must be interesting to walk it....

IT’S gnaw joke for Brandy the smallest dog in the world as she tries to tackle a meaty bone bigger than her SIX-INCH long body.

The Chihuahua — who is just a fraction taller than a cola can — was named the world’s smallest hound by the Guinness Book of Records and has finished growing.

Four-year-old Brandy weighs only 2lbs and cannot even BARK as her lungs are too small. Owner Paulette Keller, of Largo, Florida, said: “When I saw her I just fell in love with her.”

Paulette, 53, whose pint-sized pooch has become a hit on US TV, added: “With a dog like this you have to be careful. She can’t even jump on or off anything because her legs are so tiny.”
