An adorable dog with an incredibly human face has become a viral sensation, leaving baffled fans asking if his owners have used 'face-swap' tech on him. Nori, the Aussiepoo mix, owned by Kevin Hurless, 33, and Tiffany Ngo, 34, from Seattle, is one of a designer breed with incredibly human-like features. With large, almond shaped eyes that have just a hint of piercing blue and pink lips that seem to curve into a very human smile, most people can't stop themselves from stealing a second glance.

Nori, an Aussiepoo mix from Seattle, has become an Instagram sensation and leave fans scratching their heads over his human-like facial expressions (pictured). The canine gets a lot of attention online, thanks to his friendly 'smile' and quizzical blue eyes. Kevin and Tiffany have become used to the attention their unusual pet brings, and say they still love to see the reactions he causes. After Nori's owners published a photo of him on Twitter he quickly became a stand-out star, with the tweet racking up over 9,000 likes.

Kevin, an energy consultant said: 'When he was a puppy, we couldn't go more than a block without someone stopping us to ask questions about him. 'It has become less frequent as he's gotten older, but we still often hear about how human his face and eyes look. Bon appétit! Nori fascinates people whenever he's out and about with his dog 'mum' Tiffany (pictured enjoying a treat). Owner Tiffany Ngo, 34 (pictured) set up an Instagram account for Nori, which quickly blew up. Pictured in Tiffany's arms with his friend Boba.

When he was a puppy, his fur was much darker, and he often was compared to Chewbacca or an Ewok, which are characters in Star Wars. 'We usually hear that it is his eyes that creates the human look, and I tend to agree. 'Nori is a Toy Australian Shepard and Toy Poodle mix and he often looks like he's smiling. Kevin's partner, and 'mother' to Nori, Tiffany Ngo, a contract administrator said: 'Nori also has an Instagram account, where we post pictures of him often. 'That's where we get all the comments about his human features, with some people saying he looks like a giant person, or they're marvelling at his eyes. 'Nori is incredibly sweet and friendly, and very energetic and playful. 'He loves all people and dogs that he meets, and just wants to be friends with everyone.

'He's got quirky behaviour, like when he "kneads", where he'll put a toy in his mouth while he kneads with his front paws, like cats often do. Kevin added: 'We were surprised by all the attention Nori gets at first. 'We knew he had a very unique and interesting look, but didn't expect quite the reaction we got. 'But we remember being dogless and wanting to pet all of the dogs, so we try to be friendly and let people meet him as much as possible.

'We made the decision to get Nori a friend last year, Boba, who is a one year old Shorkie - which is a Shih-tzu, Yorkie mix. 'They get along great and play together all the time, though Nori sometimes has too much energy for Boba and Boba gets annoyed. 'You can see Nori's human look even more when the two are stood side by side. "Doodles" as a breed are very popular right now, but being a toy mix, Nori is only about 13 pounds and mostly fluff. 'He looks completely different during a bath!'
