iPhone sized puppy could be world's smallest dog

Beyoncé – a tiny pup small enough to fit in your pocket.

A PUPPY NAMED after one of the world’s biggest pop stars could set the world’s record for tiniest dog. The puppy, which fits just nicely on top of an iPhone, was rescued in Northern California.

The female Dachshund mix, named Beyoncé, was so small at birth that she could fit into a spoon. At two weeks, she’s about the size of a business card.

The Grace Foundation, based in El Dorado County in California, says animal control picked up Beyoncé’s pregnant mother, and she gave birth to a litter of five.

Beyoncé was the last one delivered, and was born without a heartbeat. Veterinarians managed to revive her through chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

The foundation says she’ll be ready for adoption in about two weeks – and no doubt there will be many of takers.

Meanwhile, an application has been submitted to Guinness World Records for the world’s smallest dog.
