The dwarf of dwarves best describes Koda, an American Miniature horse which was born with dwarfism. Koda is 1 years old, weighing a mere 35kg at 59cm tall. Koda’s extreme minute size has caused it disastrous health problems, that a vet has wanted to euthanise Koda but was forunately prevented by his nurse Ms Stephenson.

Despite Koda’s hefty surgery bills to treat his symptoms, Koda is well-liked and being doted on in the clinic where it is kept. Clients of the vet clinic sometimes mistaken Koda for a toy horse. Koda has a great personality in contrast to its size. In the absence of mingling with other euqines, Koda gets along well with humans that it was given the opportunity to visit elderly homes.

Take out your ruler and take this – Scooter is only 3 inches tall, incredibly tiny for a Maltese. Scooter has most likely beaten the record of the last tiny dog (Chihuahua) by an inch.

Scooter resides at New Zealand with its owner Cheryl McKnight. The size of her dog also had serious disadvantages such as being unable to find a suitable sized leash or dog jumper for Scooter. Regular pet  food dish and bedding may prove too huge for Scooter which eats from an egg cup and sleeps in a shoe box, comfortably. Scooter can easily sit in tea cups.
