Here's looking at you kid: The pair have become fast friends - especially as Mini has now opened her eyesThey may be very different sizes, but they are the very best of friends.
Mini - Britain's tiniest dog - has proved that size does not matter when it comes to having fun as she cuddles up to her pal.
It is the first time the brave little terrier has clapped eyes on her friend, as she has only just opened her eyes.
Mini: The tiny terrier is believed to be Britain's smallest dog, after she was born weighing little more than an egg
Going for a dip: The pocket-sized pooch was so small she had to be hand reared by her ownerMini was the second born in a litter of Chihuahua- Yorkshire terrier cross puppies, and weighed just 1.3 ounces.
The average weight for a puppy of this type is 4.5 ounces and they can weigh up to 15 pounds when fully grown.
But vets believe she will only be about 1.5 pounds when she is fully grown.
Ready to watch the box: The little dog is dwarfed next to the television controlOwner Emma Williams did not hold out much hope that the tiny three and half week pup would make it, as she was so small her brothers and sisters would nose her out of the way as they jostled for milk.
The 29 year old, from Sandbanks, Dorset, decided to boost her growth by hand rearing the little one with formula milk, and now the puppy is able to open her eyes and see the world for the first time.
She said: 'It is like having a baby.'
Oh my dog: The puppy could easily be overlooked in the thick pile of the carpet she lies in
