Babies and puppies can only provide unconditional love, and the only thing that can happen when a baby and a dog are born on the same day is an overload of cuteness.

Ivette Ivens, a Chicago-based mother and photographer, is well aware of this as she observes the wonderful bond between her young son Dilan and French bulldog pup Farley, who were born on the same day.

Dilan and Farley, the little French Bulldog puppies.

Dilan’s mother, Ivette Ivens, knew they were destined to be the best of friends when she saw an ad for a French bulldog puppy born the same day as her son.

Dilan and Farley do everything together and they are definitely the same species.

Ivette told the Daily Mail that “Farley plays softly with him and tries not to snore while they both sleep.”

“Farley is constantly with us and follows Dilan everywhere.”

Fairley is always willing to help Dilan clean up her mess after eating…

…and making him laugh by kissing his neck when he screams.

It truly is the most loving connection imaginable: pure, unconditional, irreplaceable, and inseparable.

Ivette Ivens, Dilan’s mother, is an excellent photographer of children, babies and families; check out her work on her website, Facebook and Instagram.
