Two-year-old Adrian Michalek and his Yorkshire Terrier companion, Maddie, are inseparable pals who have hardly ever parted ways, especially during their adventures throughout the United Kingdom. What’s even more endearing is that this dynamic duo often sports matching vintage outfits.
Recognizing the special bond between them since Adrian’s birth, Leo (43 years old) and Shawna (36 years old), hailing from Maidenhead, Berkshire, UK, decided to capture and share the moments of this delightful pair on their Instagram account, @littlechapandpup. Their photos have garnered admiration from people all over the world.
Shawna, Adrian’s mother, has captured the moments of this two-year-old duo over the past two years. She shares, “Adrian and Maddie have traveled together all over the United Kingdom and France. Maddie is like Adrian’s little shadow and protector. Wherever Adrian is, Maddie is right there with him. They play together in the garden, drive toy cars together, go for walks, and snuggle up to watch movies. They truly are best friends, just like siblings, deeply caring for each other, but of course, they also have their playful moments.”
Shawna mentioned that she and her husband started capturing the adventures of this pair when Adrian, often referred to as Little Chap, was just 4 weeks old. She said, “When Little Chap was born, we had the idea of combining our love for travel with the desire to document his first year as an adventure story of a little boy and his beloved dog.”
Shawna further shared about this truly unique journey: “During the first year, we used costumes and fixed decorations like vintage-style suitcases and a small teddy bear to showcase our son’s growth, taking photos of him and his dog at a different location each month. After 12 months of photo shoots all around the UK, we realized we didn’t want to stop there.
As the bond between Little Chap and Pup (Maddie) grew stronger, and as Adrian got older, we were able to transition from staged photos to capturing their interactions in new locations.”
The couple expressed their joy at the overwhelming love and appreciation they have received for the photos they capture: “We’ve received so many compliments on the photos. We think people not only adore our adorable little duo but also enjoy following along to see where they will explore next.”
Now, let’s take a look at more super adorable pictures and heartwarming moments of this little pair!
