Too cute! A dog and her best friend love to play dress up.

This is one of the cutest things we have seen in a while—and that’s saying a lot in this line of work! Seven-year-old rescue dog Zoey and her best human-friend, 10-month-old Jasper, love to dress up. Lucky for us, their mom, Grace Chon, a Los Angeles-based profession­al photograph­er, is devoted to documentin­g the adorable pair dressed in matching outfits. Grace began posting the photos in a Tumblr photo series she simply called “Zoey and Jasper” and the next thing she knew, the photos went viral. Grace started getting calls from NBC and the Huffington Post, but media outfits weren’t the only ones Grace heard from… When Zoey was just a newborn pup, she was rescued by a student who found her along with her littermate­s on the streets of Taiwan, and saved them from being washed down the gutter. A foster “mom” named Joy stepped in to care for the rescued puppies until homes could be found. Thanks to Zoey and Jasper’s recent viral fame, Joy happened upon the photos online, put the pieces together, and reached out to Grace. Sure enough, it was the very same puppy, all grown up and now part of Grace’s family! The two struck up a correspond­ence and Grace has now had the pleasure of seeing photos of Zoey when she was just a homeless little pup. And Joy, Grace shares in a blog post, had “been waiting for seven years to hear more about the puppy she fell in love with.” Talk about heartwarmi­ng! Cue “It’s a Small World After All.”
