“Dogs vary dramatically in size, more so than any other mammal”

200 lb mastiff, 6 lb chihuahau = 33.3 : 1

174 ton blue whale, 300 lb dwarf sperm whale = 1160 : 1

If you click on my screen name, you can see our mastiff, Tinker, and the minpin, Bebe. That photo is 15 months old, Tinker is larger now and weighs about 185, Bebe still weighs about 5 lbs. And they are still best friends. ;-D

“174 ton blue whale, 300 lb dwarf sperm whale = 1160 : 1”
