Meet the hamster-sized puppy, Belle

Wednesday, December 31, 2014
About the size of a hamster, Belle is still going strong.
Belle requires round-the-clock care, including being fed by syringe every hour.
Belle's owner, Karenza Cruse, looks after the dog while managing a guest house in England.
Belle was rejected by its mother shortly after childbirth, until owner Karenza Cruse stepped in to look after the pup.
Despite Belle's size, Cruse says the dog is still going on strong.
