Tall Meets Tiny

There’s a saying that opposites attract. These two pups are proof! Reggie is the world’s tallest dog. The Great Dane stands 3 feet 3 inches tall. He can easily rest his head on a kitchen counter. Pearl, a Chihuahua, holds the world record for shortest dog. At just over 3.6 inches tall, she’s about half the size of a pencil.  

The pooches have more in common than meets the eye. In April, officials at Guinness World Records set up a playdate at Reggie’s home in Idaho. The dogs hit it off right away. They ended up cuddling on Reggie’s couch.
