Tiny Therapy Dog of the Day: Standing a mere 5.7 inches tall, Lucy, a two-and-a-half-pound Yorkshire terrier, was recently recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s “smallest working dog.”

The previous title holder was almost four pounds heavier.

Lucy, a therapy dog, spends her days visiting hospital patients and nursing home residents in Smithville, New Jersey, leaving lifted spirits in her wake.

Her owner, Sally Leone Montufar, nursed her back to health after she arrived at her pet boutique looking “pitiful and lethargic.” Wondering if Lucy’s dimensions were some sort of record, Montufar contacted Guinness, and sure enough, they were.
