The tiny faces of lap-sized breeds can win over nearly any dog lover’s heart—and they certainly know how to captivate social media. The undeniable cuteness of pugs and Yorkies have made them the internet’s sweethearts. Even better, small dogs are often cheaper to own, as they require less food, are easier to bring along on your day-to-day adventures, and can thrive just as well in a cramped city apartment as on a sprawling farm. However, underestimating what a breed is capable of because of its size is a big mistake. Small dogs are so much more than adorable snugglers. In the following slides, Stacker has analyzed the data on the 193 breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club (released in May 2020), splitting them into small dog and large dog categories. This list of the 97 tiniest breeds was compiled using a size index based on the typical maximum height and weight for each dog breed, and the end result is an eclectic group of pooches that truly only share one thing in common—their status as the smallest pups around. Not a single dog on the list stands taller than 22 inches from shoulder to paw. Each one of these small breeds is unique in its own way, whether its claim to fame is being raised in the lap of luxury alongside kings and queens, working long hours on farms keeping the mice away, protecting holy cities, or hunting puffins on rocky islands. Keep reading to learn about the history and typical characteristics of each breed, and you’ll find that though they are compact, there’s nothing diminutive about the personalities of these 97 unique little dogs.

Social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter have become breeding grounds for conspiracy theories, while chat rooms (like the now-defunct 8chan) offer echo chambers for unsubstantiated claims from Pizzagate to shape-shifters. Myths and unproven theories seem to peak around significant historical events and tragedies, and the novel coronavirus pandemic is no exception. As quickly as one misconception is debunked, another seems to pop up, like a never-ending game of Whack-A-Mole. In late July, for example, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube removed a video from Breitbart in which a group called "America's Frontline Doctors" staged a press conference outside the Supreme Court. The group, including Houston pediatrician and minister Dr. Stella Immanuel, claims that hydroxychloroquine is a cure for COVID-19. This video garnered 20 million views on Facebook alone in a day, and was retweeted by President Trump. Scientific studies have demonstrated that hydroxychloroquine has little effect in treating COVID-19, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ended the drug's authorization for use in treating COVID-19 patients in June. Here, Stacker debunks 50 pervasive myths about COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes it, that run the gamut from outlandish medical advice to covert political operations. In the process of untangling the claims, we scoured news articles and public health resources such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Poynter Coronavirus Facts Alliance, and Medical News Today. The trouble with myth, in many cases, is the more spectacular the claim, the more difficult to disprove it. If someone believes veteran scientists, governmental health organizations, or the media are in on a plot, any counter-evidence is chalked up to fake news. In the forthcoming gallery, you’ll learn about the roots of some of the false claims (most often via a social media post that went viral), and how they've been disputed. With respect to the scientific method and investigative journalism practices, in some instances, misinformation is refuted by the sheer lack of supporting evidence. Keep reading to learn more about some of the most popular, outlandish, false, and downright dangerous claims that have circulated about COVID-19, treatments, transmission, and social distancing.
