Out for walkies, tiny Tyson's little legs don't look like they'll get him too far.
But the energetic chihuahua and Ihasa cross's miniature frame could well put him in the running for the title of Britain's smallest dog.
The five-month-old pup weighs 13oz and stands 4in tall to the shoulder. His owner Rosemarie McLinden cannot find a collar to fit him - so took him for a walk on a ferret harness.

'He is so delicate he doesn't run around as much as other puppies but he still does like to give a chew toy a good bashing,' she said.
Tyson was rejected by his siblings at birth and struggled to get his mother's attention, so Mrs McLinden, 46, of Keal, Lincolnshire, fed him by hand.
The mother-of-four said: 'We had to take him from the litter...they think of him as a squeaky toy.'
She and her husband Anthony, 47, a bus driver, believe Tyson is the smallest dog in Britain but have yet to contact Guinness World Records about him.
