Seattle has a new celebrity: Nori, an endearing Aussiepoo mix with an uncanny ability to melt hearts with his expressive eyes and charming smile.
Since photos of Nori went viral on social media about a week ago, his owners, Kevin Hurless and Tiffany Ngo, have been overwhelmed by the attention.
When asked about Nori's human-like features, Kevin, 33, shared, 'When he was a puppy, we couldn’t go more than a block without someone stopping us to ask questions about him.'
On Instagram, where Nori has a dedicated account, fans marvel at his almond-shaped eyes and pink lips that curl into an almost human smile.
Interestingly, Nori isn't the only dog to gain celebrity status online due to his human-like features. Last year, Yogi, a brown Shih Tzu-poodle mix, also became a social media sensation.
As seen in the video below, Nori's owners have grown accustomed to people's reactions when they notice his human-like facial features.
