Young boy and puppy become internet sensation - all thanks to their adorable afternoon nap
A YOUNG boy and his puppy have become an internet sensation - all thanks to their afternoon nap.
Theo and Beau became overnight stars last year after mum-of-four Jessica Shyba began sharing adorable photos of the new puppy and her youngest son sleeping together.
The images on Ms Shyba’s blog – Momma’s Gone City – show two-year-old Beau in a series of awkward sleeping positions with his furry friend Theo snuggled up beside him.
Ms Shyba, from Santa Cruz in California, admits she has been left stunned by the reaction the pair have received.
I absolutely did not expect Theo and Beau to get this much attention - it still baffles me.
And the 35-year-old is now preparing to release two books documenting the pair’s antics during naptime and bathtime.
"When they started napping together last November, it was a very fun opportunity to snap their photo and share it,” she said.
"I absolutely did not expect Theo and Beau to get this much attention - it still baffles me.
"But I think people really appreciate the sweet and natural relationship they have, and the sense of peace they bring.
"Neither of them know or could even understand the stardom they've gained, and I'd like to keep it that way for as long as possible."
'Naptime with Theo and Beau' is due for release in February 2015, while 'Bathtime with Theo and Beau' will be released the following February.
