Puppy love - the dog that literally wears its heart on its sleeve

A chihuahua male puppy has been born with a perfect heart shaped marking on his back.

The dog was named named “Heart-kun” by the owner of Pucchin Dog’s shop in Odate, Japan. He was the only pup in the litter to bear the marking. The owner has commented that it is the first time a puppy with these marks had been born out of the 1,000 that she has bred.

Enamoured, the owner has stated she has no plans to sell the puppy.
