animals famous

The kiddipops has these animal celebrity portraits in a diary and they have always given us a giggle. The company behind them is ‘Takkoda‘- the name is derived from the Sioux word meaning ‘Friend to all’. The company was started by two couples with a love of animals; who see pets as being big personalities, not as ‘chocolate box’ images. Takkoda is all about funny images of our favourite friends. They photograph real pets in their homes and capture their natural expressions in their natural state! Later they develop their characters by dressing them up digitally to bring out their iconic personalities.
