According to today’s Boston Globe, a Massachusetts woman says her prized pooch Ducky has been officially named by Guinness World Records as the world’s smallest living dog, by height, at 4.9 inches.
That would beat the celebrated Lake County dog named Dancer by a whisker. Dancer measured 5 inches on his first birthday June 8. Dogs aren’t eligible for such records until they reach a year old. The height is measured in inches from the dogs’ paws through shoulders.
Despite Dancer’s apparent, uh, shortcoming, his owner, Jenny Gomes of Okahumpka, is not ready to concede.
OkaHUMPka? When can we move?
