About three weeks ago Beyonce, a Miniscule Dachshund cross, was born in the Grace Foundation Animal Shelter, California. Beyonce was so small when she was born that she fitted into a tablespoon and at just 10cm in length, she is smaller than a credit card or an iPhone! This makes Beyonce smaller than Boo Boo, a 10.16cm chihuahua, who currently holds the Guinness World Record for being the smallest dog ever and her application to Guinness has been submitted.
Beyonce was the last puppy to be born from a litter of five and was
critically ill when she was born, which is not surprising really given
her small size. Thankfully however, vets were able to help Beyonce using
chest compressions and, amazingly, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!
As a result, Beyonce has cheated death 4 times and is doing fine at the animal
shelter and will be available for adoption, along with her mother and siblings,
within a couple of months.
