If you clicked on this post, it's probably because you love adorable animals or maybe seeing Nessa's big, cartoonish eyes captivated you so much that you simply couldn't scroll past this post. Either way, you've made the right choice, since looking at this adorable puppy will certainly fill your heart with a little bit of joy.
So, meet Nessa, probably the tiniest cavalier puppy who is taking the internet by storm with nothing else but his cuteness. The first thing you probably notice about him, other than the beautiful eyes, is his pocket-sized body. While usually cavalier dogs weigh around 12-12lbs, the little Nessa is just 7lbs. However, his weight is not a result of genetic mutation or anything like that, in fact, he was just a runt of the litter. Nessa's siblings were a little bit luckier and are regular sized dogs. Luckily, being tiny doesn't mean there's anything wrong with Nessa, he's a healthy and happy puppy, who's already two years old and fully grown. Scroll below if you're ready for the cuteness overload!

What a little sweetheart we've had cavi's for over 20years, they give you total love 😍🐾
I have a letter from my dr and paper for my rental office please give me a call 757 945 36 18
I’m so ready for a tiny one like him. Pls help me find one that is small and potty trained
Nessa is a beautiful pup! I'd would love to be his for ever mama, he would be so spoiled with me. I love this pup!
We would like to know how much it would cost to have this pressure cute little dog in our family and home in Union Oregon. We would love to have her. If the price is right.
He is the cutest doggie I've seen in a long time but I can't help thinking he is probably going to have health problems later on. Hope not.
Ah what big eyes you have! My morky I'd just 3 and 1/2 lbs and is 7 yrs old!
he's got such big adorable eyes that they're reflective!!! they're like giant cute mirrors!
Let me sing to you "yours are the sweetest eyes I´ve ever seen..." (Your Song by Elton John)

50 images and not anything to show the actual scale / size of the 'tiny' dog, I get that some had a hand in them but that could have been a tiny clown hand or the bf's hand, how about a tape measure or pot noodle for scale :D
Ah, come on! There was a WHOLE blueberry in one photo!

I have a pekingese and it takes a great effort for her to get up the back step XD 20190416_1...40381b.jpg 
Yeah, he looks cute and healthy, but his brain is too big for his skull, pushing on his spinal cord, causing great pain ALL THE TIME. Google Syringomyelia. But, as all animals, he will not show his pain and will look healthy, until he develops symptoms even his insta-fame-owner can't ignore. STOP ADVERTISING UNHEALTHY INBRED DESIGNER BREEDS!!! It's plain animal cruelty.

this just made my heart explode from cuteness, and does this dog remind anyone else of Lady from 'Lady and the Tramp'?
I hope he is treated like royally with lots of love and hugs and kisses 💕
Cavaliers can notably be prone to mitral valve disease, which leads to heart failure. This appears in many Cavaliers at some point in their lives and is the most common cause of death. Some serious genetic health problems, including early-onset mitral valve disease (MVD), the potentially severely painful syringomyelia (SM), hip dysplasia, luxating patellas, and certain vision and hearing disorders are health problems for this breed. As today's Cavaliers all descend from only six dogs, any inheritable disease present in at least one of the original founding dogs can be passed on to a significant proportion of future generations. This is known as the founder effect and is the likely cause of the prevalence of MVD in the breed. The health problems shared with this breed include mitral valve disease, luxating patella, and hereditary eye issues such as cataracts and retinal dysplasia. Cavaliers are also affected by ear problems and other general conditions as hip dysplasia.
In other words, I don't see why this dog/breed has to be promoted on BP cause some instagrammer think its cute ans wants to milk it. Inbred health issues aren't cute.

This has got to be the cutest dog I've seen! I wish they had a few pictures
A truly adorable sweet baby, love the breed, great photos !!!
I know this is a giant cliche, but looking at her I can't think of better name for her than Princess.
Be careful about tiny dogs like this. A friend of mine owned this tiny Chihuahua/terrier mix. She was no bigger than a Chihuahua puppy, full grown. She literally dropped dead of a massive heart attack while she was running and playing through the house. She made a sudden screeching sound and just dropped dead on the spot. Tiny dogs like this are very delicate.
I had a jack russel that was the runt of the litter. Only grew to 7 or 8 lbs. She was happy and healthy and lived to be 17.

that dog is the cutest dog i ever saw. also whoever tammy is her comment should have been deleted
That puppy is dangerously cute. Just one look into those beautiful eyes and I would be powerless to deny him anything he wants.
How did you do to keep it as puppy forever! Dream come true, where can I get one? or two .. xD
I´ve enjoyed these pictures so much! He is much loved and well taken care of!
Beautiful dog, but I I'm sad for it. No evidence of Nessa at play or romping. Seems to be an object rather than a being.
They are pretty docile and low energy. They really prefer to be snuggled up with their people.

He's very cute, but so is my Elle who is about the same size, even if I don't take a bajjillion photos of her. ;) LOL
Very cute and sadly very unhealthy. I wish people would stop breeding unhealthy dogs and cats.
Please stop publishing these articles as people (mostly girls) start searching for these dogs to buy ('soooo cute!!!') but that have serious health problems due to breeding even 'cuter' dog versions. Smaller heads especially, the brain too big, eyes especially get pressured in these tiny skulls which seriously hurts. And that's just 1 of their problems. Not okay people! You want a dog to love, go to a dog rescue center and be a loving human to a dumped doggy, they'll love you back!
The only dogs in the shelter around here are 95 percent pit bulls (most untrained adults) and the other five percent are also giant. Can't really pull that off unless you have the land for it. Don't shame people, educate them on finding responsible breeders if they really need to buy instead of adopt.
