— -- This pup is the perfect pick-me-up to get you through the day.
Meet Tonkey, a 4-month-old bear coat Shar Pei that is almost so adorable it hurts.
The cute canine hails from Edmonton, Canada, where she lives with her owners Christine Park and boyfriend, Dave Ngu.
“Dave and I had never seen anything like her so we felt the need to do all puppy lovers a favor and share her with the world!,” Park, 26, wrote to ABC News. “She was SO cute!!”
They’ve only had Tonkey for two and a half months now but the fluffy, four-legged friend already has 162,000 followers on Instagram.
Park and Ngu didn’t even know bear coats existed until doing their research to adopt a Shar Pei.
But once Tonkey’s litter was born, they made the drive to Raymond, Canada, to meet the pups.
“We had first pick of the litter and when we met Tonkey we knew right away!,” she recalled. “She was so sweet and she made us laugh with her erratic tail-- it was an instant connection!”
