英國最小狗狗 和倉鼠一樣大
A puppy so small it has be fed with a pipette is believed to Britain's tiniest pooch.
一隻小到必須要用吸管餵食的小狗目前是英國最小的雜交犬。
After being thrown out of the litter-of-five, the animal was examined by vets who believe he could be the nation's smallest owner carries Tyson around in a hamster cage.
被其它五隻小狗排擠出來之後，獸醫爲它做了檢查以判斷它是否是全國最小的狗。它的窩是一個倉鼠籠子。
The 46-year-old has had to make special arrangements to make sure the tiny animal isn't lost in the mix of her other pets. 'He was tiny when he was born and he was eventually pushed out by his brothers and sisters because he was so tiny. He just hasn't really grown since.I had to start feeding him myself as he couldn't latch on to his mother. He was so small he just could not breastfeed due to the tiny size of his mouth.”
這位46歲的主人必須特別安排確保這小小的一隻不跟其它的寵物混在一起。“它生下來就這麼小，最後到底被兄弟姐妹擠了出來。從那以後他就沒長。我必須要開始自己餵它因爲它沒辦法接近自己的母親。它嘴太小了，也沒有辦法母乳餵養。”
Mrs McLinden has built a special crate for the dog to sleep in, but cannot find a collar small enough for his little neck. Speaking of the other dogs in his litter of Chihuahua Lhasa Apso crosses, 'They are all so boisterous, but he is just too small to be boisterous, he’s just an energetic loving pup. He has one ball that he likes to chase, we found a practice golf ball that he can use, but even that is bigger than his head. We’ve just started trying to wean him onto dog food, and we have to rub around his little gums to help him eat. He seems do be doing well though and we hope he stays fit and healthy.'
麥克林登夫人爲這隻小狗建造了一個特別的小家，但是找不到合適它的項圈。說起吉娃娃和拉薩阿普索犬的雜交犬，“它們都很歡實，但這隻太小了折騰不起來。但是它仍然很有精力。它喜歡追一隻小球玩，我們給它找了一個高爾夫球，但是球比它腦袋都大。我們試圖讓它斷奶，吃點狗糧，我們得在它的牙齦旁邊按揉來幫助他咽食。它看來情況不錯，我們希望它能健康成長。”
Previously the smallest dog in the UK was five-inch tall terrier from Hull, Yorkshire.
之前英國最小的狗是來自約克郡一隻五英寸高的約克郡小獵犬。
