Any dog owner will likely tell you that their dog is the cutest dog on Earth.
And it’s likely that they are just that cute to their owner.
But there are some dogs that are just too cute. Like, their level of adorableness is almost painful to bear witness to.

Betram, a.k.a. Bertie, a.k.a. Bert, is one of those dogs.
The adorable chocolate pomeranian looks like a tiny little bear when his mom gives him a short haircut.
The internet basically lost it when he dressed up as Paddington Bear one Halloween.
He looks so darn cute in that red hat and blue coat it makes you want to cry.
He doesn’t even look like a dog. He looks like a teeny tiny Paddington Bear.
“As soon as I got the hat on his head I was like, Oh my god. It was an immediate ‘wow’ moment,” said Bertie’s mom Kathy Grayson told BuzzFeed.
Bertram was adopted off Petfinder from a shelter in Oklahoma.
His name was originally Jasper but his mom changed it to honor Bertie Wooster from PG Wodehouse’s Jeeves and Wooster novels.
“I called him ‘Puppy Bear’ for months until I settled on a name, Bertie,” Kathy told the Press Association, according to Shropshire Star.
“By the time his adult fur grew in and he was fully grown, it was obvious that Bertie was the cutest guy in the world. People would stop us on the street all the time, and in NYC people usually don’t do that too much, so the power was real.”

He now lives in New York City and works at an art gallery with his mom. Grayson would share photos of Bertie on her gallery’s page.
People kept asking to see more Bertie pics so she made him his own social media accounts.
Bertram has more than 400,000 followers on Instagram alone.
When his Halloween costume came early in 2018, mom posted of photo of him which obviously immediately went viral all around the world.

“He really does look like Paddington. It’s kind of uncanny,” Grayson said. “I understand how in the UK Paddington is their character, so maybe they are the most psyched,” said Grayson.

People had been telling Grayson that Bertie looked like Paddington Bear for years.
So, she watched the movies and eventually bought him a custom-made costume on Etsy.
All she needs is a tiny suitcase and galoshes for the costume to be complete but he is an obvious Paddington Bear even without them.
Grayson says she is pleased to see how much joy Bertie’s photos, especially the Paddington one, has brought to people all over the world.

She says she’s just grateful to have him in her life every single day.
“He is so calm and chill; he is just a funny, thoughtful, alert little friend. He doesn’t bite, almost never barks, he just stares and stares and smiles and romps,” she said.
“At all times of day, having Bert with me is just a constant joy, I feel grateful every day, multiple times a day, to have this wonderful being here with me.”
