World's tiniest dog

Beyonce, a puppy named after one of the biggest pop stars is now likely to set a new record for being the world's tiniest dog.

The female Dachshund mix dog weighed just one ounce when she was born.

Animal rescuers in California say that a fortnight on she still remains so small that can easily fit on an iPhone while she is the same size as a business card or credit card.

She is not yet officially the title holder but a "fast-track" application has been submitted to the Guinness World Records.

But a dog rescue centre in El Dorado Hills, California, has now been inundated with requests to adopt the little animal.
