A huge honor for a tiny South Jersey working dog



And as of Saturday, the 3-year-old mini Yorkshire terrier is the newly crowned “world’s smallest working dog” by the Guinness Book of World Records.

Just 6 inches long, 5.7 inches high and 2.5 fluffy pounds, Lucy was unfazed by the huge honor and heightened attention, says Absecon owner Sally Leone Montufar.

----------------

Homeless and out of work two years ago, Lucy now works as a therapy dog through the Cherry Hill program Leashes of Love, visiting hospitals, nursing homes and special schools often in dog dresses and bonnets.

“She likes being naked … but I make a lot of clothes,” says Montufar, the former owner of Paw Dazzle in Historic Smithville.

2. Yorkies are almost ridiculously cute.

I'd never have such a tiny dog around my own home, but when I see one in my travels the urge to cuddle it is irresistible.

4. Too small for me also. I like my pets a little larger. But agree about the cuteness.

6. Sweet little thing, truly........

I like bigger dogs, I find it hard to constantly look on the floor for the little guys, but it's cute as can be.

7. Looks like my neighbor's dog.

Most worthless, aggressive, annoying sumbitchin "dog" ever... and the yappy little fucker is too quick to step on.

I keep hoping an eagle will get it.

8. You live next to my sister in law? Who knew.

That stupid yappy thing she owns has bitten almost everyone who comes into her house. But isn't he adorable? No not really. But the two smiling pit bulls my son had that never touched anyone, were vicious.

9. Advice when entering their home: don't wear a hat. Don't sneeze or cough. Don't move suddenly.

Don't move toward the lady of the house. Speak softly and don't laugh.

You got bit? I told you not to sneeze! Besides, mr cutestuff has tiny little itty bitty teeth! Isn't he cute?

10. I love Yorkies!!! I have three of them, the smallest is five pounds of cuteness and sweetness!

My male Yorkie is a super size 16 pounds of pure muscle.

He is a sweetheart!

My other male is I think, a Morkie.

I rescued him from the mean street.

He is just the sweetest boy ever!
