It Started with Milo

One small terrier, one unexpected spark.

Milo is a Jack Russell Terrier with more personality than most people I know. Stubborn, loyal, endlessly curious. He's been my shadow since the day I brought him home.

One evening, I decided to illustrate him. Not a photo, not a filter. A real portrait, drawn by hand in Procreate, capturing every detail of that ridiculous face I love so much. I framed it, hung it on my wall, and honestly forgot about it.

Then a friend came over. She stopped mid-sentence, stared at the portrait, and said: "You made that? I need one of my dog." So I made her one. She posted it. Her friends wanted one. Their friends wanted one. My phone didn't stop.

That was the moment I realised this wasn't just a portrait. It was a way for people to honour the bond they share with their pets. Something real. Something lasting. Something that says: you matter to me.


That's how Wilson & Milo was born. Named after the two dogs who started it all.
