Seems like this is a rewrite of https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/22/oxfordshire-roman-pet-dog-remains-found-clumps/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/22/oxfordshire-roma...

It was not a puppy according to this quote from the Telegraph article:
Maiya Pina-Dacier, an archaeologist with DigVentures, said that this dog was fully grown when it died and so tiny, it must have been “adorable”: “In previous periods, you don’t get evidence of pets like this. But, when the Romans arrive, you start finding signs of smaller dogs.”
