It's twice the love! A Chihuahua puppy was born in northern Japan this week with a dark patch of fur shaped like a heart. But the male pup, named Lovekun, isn't the first: His older brother Heartkun, born from the same mom two years ago, has a similar marking to match.

Among the four recent litter mates, Lovekun was the only one to have the adorable little patch. According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, the pups' owner Emiko Sakurada says that out of the more than 1,000 Chihuahuas she's bred, Lovekun and Heartkun are the only two to have the special heart-shaped coloring. How lovely!
