A
PUPPY has been born in Japan with a large,

clear,
love-heart-shaped pattern in his coat.

The Chihuahua was born in
May as one of a litter to a breeder.

Shop owner Emiko Sakurada
said it was the first time a

puppy with the marks had been born
out of a thousand she had bred.

She had no plans to sell the
puppy, which has been named 'Heart-kun'.

The long-coated male
Chihuahua puppy was born in Odate, northern Japan
