Wiley is a Dalmatian, but unlike typical Dalmatians, he has a heart-shaped spot on his nose. Wiley's unique appearance garnered attention and he gradually became famous on the social media platform, Instagram.
Wiley is owned by Lexi Smith, a 26-year-old resident of Colorado, USA. According to Smith, she adopted Wiley from a dog farm in Oklahoma, Japan.
As seen in the photos shared on Instagram, Wiley weighs almost 25kg and is mischievous, curious, always hungry, and loves to be hugged. He is just as cute in person as he appears in the photos shared online.
Smith shared that Willie had already developed a distinctive heart-shaped spot on his nose by the time she adopted him, but that wasn't the only reason she chose him.
Smith also jokingly shared with Bored Panda: "Willie was born with 10 other siblings, 8 of whom were male, so I didn't know how to choose, and the heart on Willie's nose wasn't clear at the time."
She also added that Willie has a personality similar to hers, enjoying eating and sleeping.
Ms. Smith stated that Dalmatians, including Willie, have a tendency to disregard commands that they don't comprehend or don't like. Furthermore, when Willie seeks attention, he has a habit of leaping up and latching onto her hip, causing significant discomfort.
Not only does she have a heart on her nose, Willie also has a warm heart. It's eager to befriend a new dog or explore a big park.
Lexi's love for photography led her to share photos of Wiley on social media, and it's no surprise why - not only are Ms. Smith and Wiley very close, but everyone around them also seems to have a soft spot for this charming Dalmatian. With his photogenic looks, Wiley is the ideal subject for Lexi's photography.
