Owner melts millions of hearts dressing up Pomeranian pup in Paddington Bear outfit
Dogs are adorable from all angles.
And there’s not a single person in their right state of mind who would dare dispute this.
They come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, but they are all furballs of delight to the eyes.
However, when talking about either their cuteness or beauty, there are really some dogs who parted ways with the word “normal” or “mediocre” because they are just too irresistible.
Say hello to Bertram, a.k.a. Bertie.

He’s a 9-year-old chocolate pomeranian.
He took the internet by storm a couple of years back when he dressed up as Paddington Bear for Holloween.
“Paddington Bear is a fictional character in children’s literature. He first appeared on 13 October 1958 in the children’s book A Bear Called Paddington and has been featured in more than twenty books written by British author Michael Bond, and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum and other artists.”
He has his own Instagram account that now has a whopping 417K followers!
Bertram’s way to stardom started when he dressed up as the famous fictional character Paddington Bear for Halloween.
Since then, he’s been all over news channels and appeared as a guest on several television shows.
“As soon as I got the hat on his head I was like, Oh my god. It was an immediate ‘wow’ moment,” said Grayson.
But just like many other dogs, Bertram also had a bad start in life.

He was left at a shelter outside.
He was left in Tulsa by a cruel breeder who deemed him “too big to sell”.
Thankfully, that eventually turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Bertram was adopted by art gallery owner Kathy Grayson and, since then, his life has been filled with so much love.

His previous name was Jasper.
But Grayson decided to name him Bertie in honor of Bertie Wooster from PG Wodehouse’s Jeeves And Wooster novels.
The pomeranian star has been living with Grayson in New York City and working side-by-side with her mom in her art gallery.

“A year or so [after adopting him] there were so many people who were distracted from my art accounts — they just wanted to see Bert, so I just gave in and made his own page,” Grayson told BuzzFeed.
Who wouldn’t want to have a glimpse of his adorable face and charm?
Bertram definitely finds it hard to look ugly because he’s the epitome of “too cute to boot”.
He is definitely a head-turner.

When Bertram started to grow his adult fur, it became clear to Grayson that her dog’s cuteness was on a different level.
He grabs attention even in chaos.
Even on the very busy NYC streets, people would stop and notice her dog’s irresistible charm.

According to the art gallery owner, Bertram is the type of dog who is always calm, funny, and thoughtful, and he is an alert little furball.
The Paddington Bear-looking chocolate pomeranian also doesn’t bite and rarely barks.
Apart from the fame and attention, Grayson was just thankful to have Bertram in her life who’s been her constant source of joy.
