New World Record:
How Many Dogs Can Fit Inside a Chihuahua?

Utah (USA) —  In 1969, the world record for the most people inside a VW Beetle was set by 34 college students.  At a recent Dallas Mavericks vs. Indiana Pacers basketball game, 82 people fit into a t-shirt during halftime.  And six tiny puppies smaller than your pinky are about to set the world record for fitting into—and getting out of—a pregnant Chihuahua.

"Cricket", a brown and white Chihuahua from Utah, is poised to deliver six puppies any day now, says her veterinarian.  A recent x-ray showed six spines in her belly, indicating that she may soon be the new Guinness World Record setter for the most puppies born to a dog of her breed (the current Chihuahua record is five).

Doctors told ABC 7 that the wee ones will probably be the size of half a tootsie roll when they're born.

Animal News Center's Pet Records states that a Foxhound mix named "Lena" gave birth to 23 healthy pups in 1944.  (Phew, she's lucky she didn't get fined for littering).
