 A puppy so small it has be fed with a pipette is believed to Britain's tiniest pooch.

一只小到必须要用吸管喂食的小狗目前是英国最小的杂交犬。

After being thrown out of the litter-of-five, the animal was examined by vets who believe he could be the nation's smallest dog.His owner carries Tyson around in a hamster cage.

被其它五只小狗排挤出来之后,兽医为它做了检查以判断它是否是全国最小的狗。它的窝是一个仓鼠笼子。

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.”

这位46岁的主人必须特别安排确保这小小的一只不跟其它的宠物混在一起。“它生下来就这么小,最后到底被兄弟姐妹挤了出来。从那以后他就没长。我必须要开始自己喂它因为它没办法接近自己的母亲。它嘴太小了,也没有办法母乳喂养。”

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.'

麦克林登夫人为这只小狗建造了一个特别的小家,但是找不到合适它的项圈。说起吉娃娃和拉萨阿普索犬的杂交犬,“它们都很欢实,但这只太小了折腾不起来。但是它仍然很有精力。它喜欢追一只小球玩,我们给它找了一个高尔夫球,但是球比它脑袋都大。我们试图让它断奶,吃点狗粮,我们得在它的牙龈旁边按揉来帮助他咽食。它看来情况不错,我们希望它能健康成长。”

Previously the smallest dog in the UK was five-inch tall terrier from Hull, Yorkshire.

之前英国最小的狗是来自约克郡一只五英寸高的约克郡小猎犬。
