I have 2 Australian Shepherds and a Chihuahua and they all get along fine. I
do have to keep them separate when I cannot watch, just in case. The size
difference does issue more supervision. Even though my Aussies would never
intentionally hurt the Chi, they might accidentally jump on her, run her over
or something.
So, in this lady's case, a smaller dog may be a better choice since she is
looking for a companion for her Chi. Having a larger dog, she may have to
seperate them when she can't be with them.

I would advise only getting another dog around the same size. It can
be dangerous to a little dog to bring in another dog who will have
an unfair size advantage over a small dog, especially he is was
originally raised alone.
I also think, given the choice, that dogs of the same breed will
understand each other better and have more in common than dogs with a
widely different outlook on life.
Nothing is ever written in stone of course. It really depends on the
personality of both dogs in the end.
