The seven-year-old’s owner, Sam Johnson Reiss, said: “He’s very cautious.
“I’m not worried that [Reggie] won’t be careful around Pearl.
“He’s very, very cautious and aware.
“I anticipate that he will be really good with her and probably be more interested in Pearl’s owners than maybe Pearl herself!
“Obviously, bringing the smallest dog in the world with the tallest dog in the world, there was a little bit of anxiety, but I think he was very gentle [and] very, very kind [to Pearl], as best as he could be. And then, when he was done, he was done.”
Four-year-old Pearl’s owner Vanesa Semler, of Florida, said: “I think she’s unaware she is small.
“When Pearl meets bigger dogs, she is really friendly.
“I think she has no idea she is a small dog.
“Normally she’s really playful with bigger dogs, she just wants to be around [them]”.
Vanesa added: “I think you can see through the photos and videos the love we have for our pets, they’re part of the family.”
