Small Puppy

Britain's smallest puppy Disney


Standing at a mere three inches and weighing less than a bag of sugar Britain's smallest puppy is so tiny she thinks she's a kitten.

Disney, a pocket-sized Chihuahua, was part of a litter of three born on January 25 - but hasn't grown since she was eight-weeks-old. 

She weighs just 14oz and can be carried around by owner Natalie Vanes, 26, in the palm of her hand.

The mother-of-one has to keep Disney away from her three other dogs at her home in Coseley, West Midlands, in case they mistake her for a toy.

As a result, Disney forged an inseparable bond with Ms Vanes' pet kitten Kiera and they have been best friends ever since.

Disney plays with kitten toys - as the dog toys are too big for her - and even pinches Kiera's food out of her bowl.

The pair also sleep together on a heat-mat in a special dog crate, which is kept in Ms Vanes' bedroom, and can fit in a plant-pot together.

Ms Vanes, who lives with her fiance Stephen, 30, and their five-year-old daughter, said: 'Disney was a normal sized little puppy and was fed and reared by her mum Tinkerbell and didn't really need any special treatment. 

'As time passed they both grew normally but they were quite small. However, their mum and dad are small so I wasn't too concerned.
