Weighing in at only 5 lbs (2.3 kg), the Chihuahua is the smallest dog, yet is the dog with the biggest attitude. They completely believe in themselves and will protect their human guardians with more strength than at first imaginable. Fierce but endearing, independent but compassionate, these tiny creatures are no less remarkable than the largest of all creatures on the planet.

Here, the 8-year-old Apricot smooth coat Chihuahua named Apollo poses in a ray of sunshine to let the world know he is rather extraordinary. Apollo is a rescue pup who was discovered living on the streets of Austin, Texas, previously. He has now found his forever home where he cuddles with his adopted Chihuahua sister, has a private backyard, and knows only times with abundant food and love.
