Nothing gets us more flustered than a man who goes all mushy for a cute dog… and when that man is an international rugby star? Well… phew!
Get ready to want a new puppy once you see these photos below…
Leinster rugby player Cian Healy introduced his new bull mastiff puppy to the Twittersphere last night, a puppy that is smaller than his slipper. Too cute.
The little guy is only the size of Cian’s slipper….
Cian set Ted down next to a Capri Sun drink to show people how small the little pup is.

We’d say the little scamp was knocked out after his mini photoshoot.
The Irish rugby player named the little fellow Ted and spent the night snap-happy with the mini canine. That is, until bed-time came.
Cian, who DJs under the name DJ Church, tweeted about Ted’s yelping in the early hours of the morning; “So it’s apparent Ted likes to bark and yelp at 4am… the lil messer!”

He replied to a friend saying it was difficult to leave the house this morning for work; “Yea he’s a cute lil sh*t, made it hard to go to work!”
Cian announced on Twitter yesterday evening he was thinking of getting a dog. Ulster rugby legend Rory Best joined in the conversation and began to send Cian videos of dogs he thought he might like.
“Keep in mind I don’t have a farm for this to roam in!!”, Cian tweeted back.

The star then tweeted that he had a dog in mind and he’d take photos of him when he’d get back.
