- why_at 3y agoGiven what I know about humans, Lucia was obviously a newborn. I'm less confident when it comes to dogs so I don't know if Milly was a baby or not. Either way, doesn't including babies throw things off a bit? I feel like the the difference between the smallest and largest adult dog is much bigger than the same ratio in people, unless there is a person with very extreme dwarfism or something.
- sandworm101 3y agoNeither of the people on either side of that scale are what anyone would call "healthy". A 4 lb dog can be completely normal and healthy, so too a 200 lb mastiff. A 2-lb person will not be healthy, nor any 1000+lb person. Those are nano-percentage outliers. Fyi, the wikipedia entry for Lucia Zarate cites larger numbers, as much as 14 lbs.
