According to the Guinness book of Records in 2021, the smallest ever dog was a Chihuahua called Milly. The dog from Puerto Rico measured just 9.65 cm tall. When she was born in 2011, Milly weighed less than 30 g and could fit into a teaspoon.

Now listen to the slower version and type what you hear into the text box.
