Napping Toddler and Puppy Are Back in New Round of Adorable Photos

In November, the naptime snuggle sessions between a puppy named Theo and his toddler pal Beau stole the hearts of Web users nationwide — and now the super cute duo has returned due to popular demand. Jessica Shyba, a blogger and mother of three, captures her 2-year-old son and the family's dog as they take their routine two-hour daily snooze entwined together. The Shyba family picked up Theo from the pound when he was about 7 weeks old. A few days later, when Jessica prepared to put Beau down for a nap, the whining pup followed them into the bedroom. "Theo climbed up on top of Beau, and it was just the cutest, most natural thing," Jessica tells Yahoo Shine. Now, Theo never fails to join his buddy Beau for naptime. "They act like toddlers together, like brothers. It's an interesting and fascinating relationship." Since photos of the twosome's enchanting relationship have gone viral, Jessica has used the series' popularity to encourage individuals to donate to the Santa Cruz SPCA & Humane Society, where her family adopted Theo, a shar-pei and German shepherd mix. She hopes the publicity will raise awareness of animal shelters and humane societies around the country. She also suggests that other youngsters who take cuddly catnaps with their pets share their snapshots using #TheoandBeau on social media. "The relationship caught us all off-guard. It's been like magic, honestly." — Lauren Tuck, Shine Staff
