Pocket-size puppy finds a toy that measures up
Toy manufacturer Tomy have enlisted the help of Lulu, a 10-week-old chihuahua who measures just four inches, as the face of their Micro Pets-i campaign.
Micro Pets-i, which have arrived in the UK in their thousands from Japan, are the newest version of the toy craze for tiny pets. The palm-sized creatures are available in nine varieties, including miniature cats, dogs and bears. They move, talk and sing, using the latest innovations in micro technology to respond to a child's hand movements.

Lulu's owner Jean Tindall, 76, from Bradford, said: “The toys are fantastic, Lulu seems to love playing with them already.”
