World's tallest and shortest dogs meet for a playdate
May 07, 2025
|The Star
TWO record-holding dogs met eye-to-eye.
Reggie, a 99cm Great Dane, was standing in his Idaho home. Pearl, a 9cm Chihuahua, was hoisted up by her owner. The height difference between the world's tallest and shortest dogs didn't stop the pair from sniffing each other and playing.
Sure, there were hiccups when the dogs met last month. When Reggie shifted his leg on a couch to get comfortable, the leather moved and sent Pearl flying onto the floor. Later, Pearl tried to take Reggie's toys, which were larger than she is.
Despite the odd-looking pairing, they have a lot in common. They mostly interacted with each other as they would any other dog during a meeting that Guinness World Records organized.
"She really just wants to love on everybody just like Reggie," Sam Johnson Reiss, Reggie's owner, told The Washington Post about Pearl. "I met Pearl and was like, 'Wow, she is so much more like Reggie than I thought."
They whine and bark when they want something - food, water or a walk. They also love attention. But their differences are, obviously, quite pronounced.
