1 / 14On his 30th birthday, Rafael Mantesso's wife left him and took almost everything along with her, leaving Rafael with only his bull terrier named Jimmy Choo and blank walls. Rafael didn't let that keep him down for long. Instead he took pictures of Jimmy as the jolly dog playing around. When Jimmy collapsed in exhaustion, Rafael took out a sketch pen, drew some graffiti around his friend and felt his inspiration for life and art return. Rafael created an entire series with Jimmy in some comic and creative scenes. Now they have more than 500,000 followers and a book filled with best photos of the terrier. Here are some of them.
