Britain's smallest pug is warming the hearts of dog lovers around the world who are praying for her health.

When Pip the purebred pug was born on January 26 her breeder was shocked to see that she was half the size of her doggy siblings.

Now at four months old she still only stands four-inches-tall, easily fitting in the palm of a human hand. She is so tiny that she is just a tad taller than the world's smallest dog, which Guinness World Records says is a 3.8-inch-tall Chihuahua named Milly.

Although she is adorable to look at, her tiny size has already caused a lot of health problems in her so-far short life. Luckily for Pip she has a lot of support from her human friends and family who are doing everything they can to help her gain her health so she can live a happy, healthy life!
