Dalmatians are purebred dogs renowned for their distinctive white coat with small black spots. Dalmatians are born white, and spots appear on their fur after about two weeks.
An unusual Dalmatian named Wiley lives in the American state of Colorado. What makes this little fellow so special is the cute little black heart-shaped spot on his nose.
The little one's owner, Lexi Smith, didn't immediately notice this "peculiarity" of her pet, which soon became his calling card. "People always gather around Wiley," says Lexi Smith. "Everyone wants to pet him, to get a better look at him."
"We weren't sure the spot would hold its shape as Wiley grew," says Lexi Smith. "But as he grows, the spot remains. It looks like this symbol of love will stay with the puppy for life!"
Wiley feels irresistible. Like a true star, he treats his "fans" with kindness. If the baby had hands instead of paws, he'd definitely be signing autographs.
The young Dalmatian has his own Instagram page, with over 78,000 followers. His owner regularly delights her followers with fresh photos of her pet.
Thus, a small mark of nature transformed an ordinary puppy into an internet star and a favorite of tens of thousands of users. Wiley struck it lucky and is now basking in the love and attention of those around him.
