STANDING no bigger than the average coke can this miniature cute canine character is officially the worlds smallest dog.

In fact 'Heaven Sent Brandy' is so tiny that she can't even bark. Her legs are only the size of lollipops and she is dwarfed by just a normal doggy bone.

The female Chihuahua measures just 6 inches from tail to nose. Owned by Paulette Keller, in Florida, she was awarded the title of 'the smallest dog in terms of length' by the Guinness Book of Records in January 2005.

But because the four-year-old pooch hasn't grown in the last three years she gets to hold onto the acolade.
