Schipperke puppy Cosmo is a cute star of social media.

The little dog belongs to Wyndham Vale woman Tanya, who said Cosmo came into her and her family’s to help give her mental health a boost.

“He has been nothing but positive in the house – even if there’s an accident or two,” Tanya said.

“He gives me so much love and energy and we’re blessed to have him in our family.”

According to DogTime.com, the loyal and intelligent Schipperke originated in Belgium as a small version of a black Belgian sheepdog known as the Leauvenaar.

The name Schipperke is thought to have come from a word meaning “little shepherd,” but the dogs are best known for guarding the boats that plied the canals between Brussels and Antwerp.
