英国最小狗狗 和仓鼠一样大
A puppy so small it has be fed with a pipette is believed to Britain's tiniest pooch. After being thrown out of the litter-of-five, the animal was examined by vets who believe he could be the nation's smallest dog.His owner carries Tyson around in a hamster cage. The 46-year-old has had to make special arrangements to make sure the tiny animal isn't lost in the mix of her other pets. 'He was tiny when he was born and he was eventually pushed out by his brothers and sisters because he was so tiny. He just hasn't really grown since.I had to start feeding him myself as he couldn't latch on to his mother. He was so small he just could not breastfeed due to the tiny size of his mouth.” Mrs McLinden has built a special crate for the dog to sleep in, but cannot find a collar small enough for his little neck. Speaking of the other dogs in his litter of Chihuahua Lhasa Apso crosses, 'They are all so boisterous, but he is just too small to be boisterous, he’s just an energetic loving pup. He has one ball that he likes to chase, we found a practice golf ball that he can use, but even that is bigger than his head. We’ve just started trying to wean him onto dog food, and we have to rub around his little gums to help him eat. He seems do be doing well though and we hope he stays fit and healthy.' Previously the smallest dog in the UK was five-inch tall terrier from Hull, Yorkshire. |
