Patch the puppy with an uncanny resemblance to Nazi leader Adolf

A dark mark on his top lip mirrors the Fuhrer's famous moustache which another large brown area over his left ear completes the look of the dictator.

The puppy, a cross between French bulldog and a shih tzu, has two brothers and lives with owner Lynda Whitehead in York.

She said no one calls him by his real name any more and Patch is starting to obey orders as "Adolf" or "Hitler".

Ms Whitehead said: "None of us noticed the likeness until we put a photo on Facebook and my eldest daughter saw it and said 'You've got a little Hitler there'.

"Although he's called Patch, everybody calls him Adolf now.

"My grandsons are the worst for doing the goose-step when the puppy's around."

Patch's mother Betty, a French bulldog, and father Teddy, a shih tzu, both belong to Lynda's daughter Clare, and Patch belongs to Clare's 17-year-old son Dan.

The three puppies in the litter are being reared at Lynda's home until they reach 12 weeks old.

Ms Whitehead added: "He is a lovely little thing. All of them are, but he is the gentlest of them all. He will sit on your lap and just look at you until he falls asleep.

"One of his brothers should be Hitler as he has the attitude. That one's the runt of the litter so he's had to fight a bit more."
