Three-week-old chihuahua puppy Tom Thumb poses in a tea cup. The pup is thought to be one of the smallest dogs in the world.
A tiny Chihuahua-Jack Russell-cross dog, appropriately named Tom Thumb by his English owners, is vying for the title of the smallest dog on the planet, the Mail Online reported.

The 3-week-old pup is one of a litter of five; the others are three times bigger than him.

Tom Thumb weighs just a "few ounces" and is a third of the size of an average guinea pig, the website said.

The Guinness world record for the smallest dog is a 4-year-old Chihuahua from Florida, in the United States, which is 10cm long.
