Born on September 1, 2020, Pearl is smaller than a TV remote control and almost as long as a dollar bill.

Pearl’s owner, Vanessa Semler, who lives in Orlando, Florida, consulted veterinarian Giovanni Vergel, who officially confirmed that she is the shortest dog alive.

Pearl’s mother’s sister, Miracle Millie, previously held the same record with a height of 9.6 centimeters. Millie died in 2020, before Pearl was born.

“We are blessed to have her,” Semler told the Guinness Book of Records. “And to have this unique opportunity to break our own record and share this amazing news with the world.”

The shortest dog of all time, a miniature Yorkshire terrier belonging to the British Arthur Marples, was only 7 centimeters. Pukhnastyk died in 1945. (Photo source Dreamstime)
