New York, New York - You can certainly spot this dog from a distance!

Kevin the Australian Cattle Dog hails from Tennessee, but when he recently met his new owner, Alexandra Petri, he headed to New York City to start a new life.

As soon as he arrived in his new home, his owner took him to a dog wash in the city, where Petri couldn't resist giving her new treasure a little treat.

"We went to a self-wash place downtown for a bath and he was so good, so I got him a toy," she wrote on Twitter.

What she didn't know at the time was that this cuddly toy had taken a very special place in Kevin's heart in no time.

"He carried it the whole walk home & on the bus," she said.

Of course, Petri couldn't help but surprise him again and again over the next few weeks with a new trinket for his collection, and so the toy pile continued to grow day by day.

But don't worry; they're not lying around in a corner of the apartment gathering dust - it's quite the opposite!

In fact, ever since then, the precious pup has made a habit of bringing one of his cuddly toys along for every single walk with his owner!

"It's his signature in our neighborhood," she tweeted.

Kevin's favorite fluffy toys include a green frog, a white sheep, a blue hippo, and even a bouquet of flowers wrapped in newspaper!
