This is Reggie and Pearl. Reggie holds the @guinnessworldrecords.com title for tallest dog living at 3 feet 3 inches. Pearl holds the title for shortest dog living at 3.59 inches. They just met for the first time for a playdate. 14/10 for both

I have no idea whether it's the gait that lets my dog tell — from a moving car — that some tiny squab is actually a canine so she can maniacally bark at it. I wish it were only dogs 30 lbs. and up. So does my hearing.
Knowing dogs, Reggie still thinks he's about Pearl's size, still able to fit under that table, in that bed he used as a puppy, or snuggle on your lap.
Conversely, Pearl probably thinks she's as big and intimidating as Reggie: She'll stand up to any challengers, be they dog, man, or bear.
This reminds me of an advert I saw for a Chimation (Chihuahua Dalmatian cross) which had a picture of the parents and the smile on the proudest little dad was a sight to behold.
I remember clients that had a Great Dane & a Yorkie. They were hilarious. That old Dane was so happy to have that Yorkie boss him around everyday. If Yorkie was gone to the groomer he sulked until the Yorkie was back home.
My Dane had to be put in the small dogs’ play area during doggie daycare because she was scared of the bigger dogs, but absolutely adored the small ones. 😂😂
Long ago, I got a male great dane puppy. He was the sweetest, gentlest pup. We had many adventures together but he sadly died young. After about a year, I rescued a young female great dane. Decades later, I still miss her.
Charlotte's first friend was a Great Dane named Bridget who lived next door. when Bridget passed away, Char looked for her friend for the longest time. RIP, dear Bridget, forever missed
That is one of the hardest parts of losing a pup—when you have another pup attached to them. To this day I cannot say Kona’s name or Kai gets very agitated looking for her. She passed 4 years ago but they were best buds for 6 years! She’s the red one🥰
I just measured by 15 year old itty bitty chihuahua at 3.46 inches. (too be fair, she probably used to stand a little taller) Maybe I need to call Guinness.
If you tied a length of string to Pearl I bet their playdate would look like a reenactment of the Snowspeeders vs. AT-AT battle from “The Empire Strikes Back.”
I think it's absolutely necessary to override the official rating and give both Reggie and Pearl a well-deserved 15/10, because let's be real, they're basically canine perfection.

Cute picture!
Just noting there's no way that the top of Pearl's head would be under 4 inches from the ground. Still wildly small.
