It's like a blatant silent plea to the world to have heart for animals - this male long-coated chihuahua named Heart-kun has a heart-shaped pattern on his coat. The picture shows him sitting at Pucchin Dog’s Shop in Odate, northern Japan, July 10, 2007.
The one-and-a-half-month-old chihuahua was born on May 18, 2007 as part of a litter. The shop owner Emiko Sakurada said that Heart-kun was the first puppy to be born with these marks out of 1,000 that she had bred. She also said that she had no plans to sell the puppy.
