Meet Chilli, Sukhi & Yasmin

Chilli is a feisty, spicy Chihuahua who has taken his place as a true pet influencer diva and has become the centre of Yasmin’s universe. His loyal sidekick Sukhi is a bundle of joy and love, living up to her name which means “happiness” in Sanskrit.

Yasmin’s love for Chilli expressed itself creatively through their social media accounts, gaining a following by storm. They also both battle with anxiety and have turned it into the “I am anxious too!” campaign, creating awareness and sharing tips for both humans and canines alike.

Dog The Originals is a real labour of love. It took 3 years in the making.

Yasmin is a Digital Creator, Yoga Minister & Reiki Master. Yasmin loves being behind the camera, capturing precious moments with Chilli & Sukhi. As a holistic practitioner she treats both humans and animals alike and often together. She is also the founder of Chilliwawa and the author of Dog The Originals.

Chilliwawa: This story is about a girl, her dog, and her passion for creativity.

When Chilli and I met, it was love at first sight; we had found each other and were soulmates. Chilli became my inspiration from day one. I began drawing him, illustrating little stories about him. I could never have dreamed of all the things I ended up doing, thanks to my best friend. Together, we created Chilliwawa, which has grown into a beautiful dog lovers community whilst being a hub of creativity.
