It seems that there is just no stopping the Chihuahua these days. Proving that they are not simply sidekicks for socialites and movie stars, Cup of Dog has spotted Chihuahuas in all kinds of news articles. We have our paragliding pal, our Buddhist prayer pup and now, Tiny Dancer, five inches of certified canine therapy.

Tiny Dancer resides in Lake County, Florida and in his quest to become a therapy dog, was turned down by a number of certification programs because of his size. Not a breed that is easily dissuaded by convention, Tiny Dancer continued in his pursuit, spending weeks training and learning how to spread cheer and behave in hospital and other public settings.

Since having received his Therapy Dog Certification in January, Tiny Dancer has attended schools and camps for children and adults with chronic and life threatening conditions.

I can’t wait to see what the versatile Chihuahua is spotted doing next!!
