You won't believe what made this mum really popular

When one mother from California put her son down for a nap after getting a new puppy, she couldn't have imagined what was about to happen.And a week after pictures of baby Beau curled up to sleep with puppy Theo went viral, Jessica Shyba says she can't believe how popular the pair have become.Speaking to KTVU, the mother-of-three said:

 'I'm completely flabbergasted. It's beyond anything I've ever dreamed..The pictures, posted on her blog, have attracted millions of views and thousands of comments since they were posted last Thursday.The nap-time ritual started three days after they took Theo, who 23-month-old Beau calls 'Bee-bo', home with them.At first the family had decided to crate train the dog, from a litter of 11, by making him sleep alone, but his cries were too much for them to bear.The dog spent his first night on the sofa with Jessica's partner, Justin, and then the second night sleeping with her.But on the third afternoon, as she was rocking baby Beau to sleep, Theo decided to join in by laying on top of him, and was soon fast asleep too

I nearly woke both of them up after 'practically howling at the cuteness' but managed not to, and since then the two have been inseparable.'The following day, Theo met us up in my room for the nap time ritual, and so began what I can only describe as the most organic and beautiful friendship I have ever witnessed.'Every afternoon for the past week the pair have slept side-by-side, Theo now knows when it is time for a nap and waits at the end of the bed.'

She says she has to get Beau off to sleep first, otherwise the dog will wake him up, but after he is asleep she puts Theo onto the bed who totters over to the sleeping toddler before dropping off himself.
The duo then sleep intertwined for up to two hours at a time
