The image of the tanned, muscular man smiling while holding his adorable puppy has generated over 17,000 likes on Pet's Haven Animal Shelter's Facebook page, along with hundreds of approving comments.

The new dog owner is Ben Henderson, a Melbourne resident, according to Time.

But sorry adoring fans, the owner and puppy are off the market.

As his image went viral, his fiancée, Alisha Howell, posted a Facebook photo of her own.

It was an image of her hand wearing an engagement ring. She wrote, “Sorry ladies he put a ring on it!”
