A dog is well-known to be a man's best friend, and this baby and French bulldog puppy from Chicago are starting their relationship early.
Dilan the baby and the family's bulldog Farley are completely inseparable, bathing together, eating their dinner together and even napping together.
Photographer Ivette Ivens, originally from Radviliskis, Lithuania but now living in Chicago, noticed the growing bond between Dilan and Farley, and decided to capture the relationship with a series of photographs.
Best friends: Baby Dilan and French bulldog puppy Farley take a nap together. Dilan's mother, photographer Ivette Ivens, decided to document the adorable relationship between them
Partners in crime: The pair, from Chicago, do everything together, include bathing, napping and eating their dinner
'Farley is always around us, and he follows Dilan everywhere,' said the 25-year-old mother-of-two.
'He patiently plays with him and tries not to snore while they both nap. It's honestly the most loving connection - pure, unconditional, irreplaceable and inseparable.
'I'm pretty sure Dilan thinks they're both the same species, as they walk at the same level and are both going through the stage of chewing on everything.
'My little Dilan is a chilled out baby and he's always happy, but for some reason Farley really cracks him up.
'I love seeing them together.'
Helping paw: Dilan's mother says Farley is actually a big help with Dilan, and licks his neck when he cries to make him laugh
Nap time: Photographer Ivette thinks the two believe they are the same species, as they are the same height and are both going through the phase when they chew on everything
'Meant to be': Both eight months old, the two were even both born on the same day, May 26. They have been inseparable every since Farley joined the household five months ago
Sweet dreams: Farley is a very gentle puppy, according to Ivette, and has many of the same needs as baby Dilan
Both eight months old, Dilan and Farley also share a birthday, on May 26, and have spent every moment together since the puppy joined the family five months ago.
'I'm constantly looking at all kinds of animals on internet, wishfully thinking all of them could be mine one day,' added Ivette.
'I saw Farley's birth date and just knew it's meant to be.
'Farley helps me a lot, actually.
'He cleans up Dilan's mess after he eats, and always licks Dilan's neck if he is crying so he starts laughing out loud. It's pretty cute.
Watchful eye: Ivette decided to record the pair's adorable relationship, but said that none of the snaps are staged and she can just take them at any time of day as the 'out-of-control' cuteness happens 24/7
Companion: French bulldogs are one of the so-called 'companion breeds' which enjoy close contact with their owners
'Farley is very gentle and clumsy at times, we have to remember he is still only a baby, too.
'I just take these photographs during random parts of the day. There's no need for another inspiration or idea when you see this out-of-control cuteness happening 24/7.'
