Pearl, a 9.14-centimeter chihuahua, traveled from Florida with her owner Vanesa Semler to meet Reggie, a 1.007-meter Great Dane, in Idaho, highlighting the extraordinary difference in their sizes.

Despite the stark 91.56-centimeter height difference, the two dogs bonded quickly, engaging in playful activities around the house and garden, and enjoying each other's company.

Reggie's owner, Sam Johnson Reiss, described him as a gentle and cautious giant, predicting he would be more interested in Pearl's owner than Pearl herself due to his gentle nature.

Pearl enjoys choosing her outfits each day, adding a humorous element to her personality, while Reggie, despite his large size, is characterized as a playful and vocal 'big baby.'
