You’ve heard of someone wearing their heart on their sleeve, but Wiley the Dalmatian will do you one better. He wears his heart on his nose! At just one year old, the adorable pup has rocketed to internet fame thanks to his distinctive snout and vibrant temperament. Among his black and white spotted coat is a perfectly placed heart marking that proves Wiley leads with love!

Lexi Smith, Wiley’s human, has captured photos of him from the very beginning and shared their lives on his popular Instagram account. Followers are gifted with the pup’s seemingly rapid transformation and his growing personality. The photos show how he went from being a furry baby first learning about the world to a happy canine that seems to have boundless energy for outdoor adventures. In a post about her recent birthday boy, Smith says that he has “joy so great it wiggles his whole body and love so big it bursts through his face.”
