  He weighs in at about three pounds—far less than the average big toe—and he’s only seven inches tall. Something you could probably carry around in your pocket if you wanted to.

  In 2009, his mom, Julie Steines, fell in love with him after seeing him on Petfinder, then traveled across the country to bring him home. She immediately knew how special he was.

  Norbert is a therapy dog. That means he brings love and relief to those who need it most, like hospital patients, students, nursing home inhabitants, and so on.

  Currently, Norbert volunteers at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, where his tiny face, his saucer eyes, and his sideways tongue bring smiles to all who see them.
