Remember Heart-kun the chihuahua? Mickey Moo the cow?
Following in the footsteps of those other animals-with-unusual-markings who so captivated humankind comes Heart, an ox born with a prominent heart pattern on his forehead.
Heart lives at Yamakun farm in Fujisawa, near Tokyo. "Good timing for Valentine's Day," was farm owner Kazunori Yamazaki's comment to the Associated Press.

Sooo precious. I'd like to be assured he's going to live forever though. How about that?

He's so adorable. I want to take him home and make him a pet. :)
