smallest working dog - 2.2 pound therapy dog [View all]
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.
