This adorable dog may appear as if it’s the result of a face-swapping application, but surprisingly, his enchanting smile is entirely natural. Let us introduce you to Nori, the dog who has taken the online world by storm, leaving an unforgettable impression on anyone fortunate enough to see his photographs.
Nori’s unusually large, almond-shaped eyes give his smile an uncanny resemblance to that of a human. From the moment Nori joined the lives of his owners, Kevin Hurless and Tiffany Ngo, as a puppy, they were captivated by his delightful grin.
As Nori grew, his smile continued to captivate everyone he encountered during his walks. Kevin shared, “When he was a puppy, we couldn’t walk a block without someone stopping us to ask about him.” Although the attention has waned as he’s grown older, the admiration for his human-like face and expressive eyes has not diminished.
Nori, a charming mix of Toy Australian Shepherd and Toy Poodle, even has his own Instagram and Twitter accounts, where Tiffany frequently shares his photogenic moments, highlighting his remarkably human-like features. Tiffany added, “That’s where we receive all the comments about his human-like appearance. Some people liken him to a giant person, while others are mesmerized by his eyes.”
Nori’s unique qualities have thrust him into the spotlight, including an appearance on the prestigious British television show, BBC Breakfast. Nevertheless, despite his strikingly human-like appearance, Nori remains a dog at heart, relishing playful interactions with squeaky toys and forming connections with both friends and strangers during his outings in the neighborhood.
Tiffany confirms, “He loves people and dogs equally, always eager to make new friends.” His closest companion, Boba, a delightful mix of Yorkie and Shih Tzu, joins Nori in their joyful adventures. “They share an incredible bond and are playmates all day long, although Nori’s boundless energy sometimes overwhelms Boba, leading to some comical moments.”
When Nori and Boba stand side by side, Nori’s human-like smile becomes even more pronounced, truly highlighting the magic of their companionship!”
