Guinness World Records Day 2007 brought together an unlikely pair to meet; Gibson, 2004 World’s Tallest Dog and BooBoo, current record holder for World’s Smallest dog.
Gibson stands about 42″ tall at the should while tiny little BooBoo tops out at only 4″
The two celebrity hounds, who were both bred in America, met up to celebrate Guinness World Records Day 2007.
Boo Boo’s owner Lana Elswick has bred Chihuahuas in Kentucky for 19 years and said she always knew her one-year-old pooch was special.
The tiny mutt was only about the size of a thumb when she was born; so small, in fact, that she had to be fed with an eye dropper every two hours before she could eventually nurse a bottle. Now she is a diminuitive diva.
“She has the attitude of a big dog she would let me know if anyone was around and she would try to guard me if she could,” said Ms Elswick.
Owner Sandy Hall lives with her dog Gibson in Sacramento, California. The Great Dane is also the world’s tallest therapy dog and regularly visits children’s hospitals.
“He just puts a smile on people’s faces,” Ms Hall said.
“In one split second, people forget their cares and worries.” (Daily Mail)

Hi!
I just wanted to comment on the two dogs, this reminds me of my brother’s Great Dane named Spike and my Miniture Dachshund named Toby. When our families meet we go to our parent’s house at Lake Whitney, Texas and our dogs were puppies, my brother’s dog was about three months old and was already twice the size of my mini and we had gone outside to enjoy the nice cool air and our two dogs were playing catch me if you can, they were chasing each other and if you know anything about Great Danes and Dachshunds; especially when they are puppies, the Danes think they are the same size as the Dachshunds and the Dachshunds think they are as big as the Danes, any way Toby wound up under my lawn chair being the brave chicken that he is and Spike standing his ground and trying to get to Toby, he had proceeded to put his head under my chair and some how almost turn my chair along with me in it over. I stood up and watch the whole thing from a safer place. Our dogs also love wrestling with each other too, I have a picture of Spike with Toby’s head in his mouth. It is just so funny, the old lion and lion tamer gag but with dogs.
