I think you're both right.

Possessive nouns definitely play the role on an adjective.

thanks for respond.
according to teacher, I got a wrong answer cause I chose Willy`s and cute are adjective.
she said Willy`s is a subject so it is not an adjective, but I think if Willy`s is a subject, then the sentence has to change to Willy`s a cute dog.
What do you think?
