Recently, Shyba revealed about how the pictures happened and shared the most adorable behind-the-lens details in an interview with KTVU.
She was overwhelmed by the response she got from fans across the globe. Her photos started after Theo, her pet, had problem sleeping alone. But the dog swiftly captured the hearts of pet lovers across the world, and #theoandbeau was formed.

"Each day, Theo meets us at naptime and waits patiently for Beau to fall asleep. By that time, he's also sleepy, so when I hoist him on to our bed, he stumbles over to Beau and plops right down on top of him. And there they sleep, entwined, for at least two hours," Shyba said.
The pictures promote amazing bond of love between human and animal and have swiftly gone viral and featured online, including Huffington Post and Yahoo and on shows such as ABC News and Good Morning, according to SPCA officials.
The pictures have also gained their own hashtag -- #theoandbeau.
"I'm completely flabbergasted. It's beyond anything I've ever dreamed," "I think there is just so much bad news in the world, all the time every day, that is all we see." Shyba told KTVU about the attention.
Theo and Beau's pictures bring a sense of serenity in their interaction. "Based on the responses that I'm getting, it's the peacefulness and the natural way that they are together. It's sweet and it's innocent and it's lovely and people appreciate it and I appreciate it," Shyba said.
Her precious updates have extended into Vine videos and appreciate them.
Shyba allegedly adopted Theo (partly Boxer, Shepherd and Labrador Retriever) from the Santa Cruz SPCA, and he was actually one of 11 pups rescued from the local pet rescue shelter and she is using this fame as a prospect to help out other pets. She asks other folks inspired by her son and dog's bond to donate to the same shelter.
