Miracle Milly was the world's smallest dog by height, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
She was born in December 2011, and weighed approximately 1 pound. On February 21, 2013, her height was measured, placing her at 9.65 cm. The previous smallest dog was Boo Boo, at 4 inches tall. Miracle Milly was owned by Vanesa Semler from Dorado, Puerto Rico.
