You may recognize lil Dancer here, he's been all over the news in his short life – and, sadly, the pooch passed away yesterday at the young age of two. He was up for the title of world's smallest dog for Guinness World Records in 2007, but lost out to an even smaller pooch (I didn't know they came any teensier!).
