Richie & Pi

The friendship
nobody planned.

One gentle little rabbit. One bright pink parrot. Two completely different personalities — and somehow they simply chose each other.

Two completely different little lives

SOME FRIENDSHIPS
JUST HAPPEN

A rabbit.
A pink parrot.
One very unexpected friendship.

Nobody needed to introduce Richie and Pi to the idea of friendship.

They worked that part out themselves.

Different species. Different personalities. Different ways of seeing the world.

And still, they found a way to understand each other.

Their story became one of the warmest stories of our first issue — a reminder that friendship does not need to make sense to anyone else.

Meet the duo ♡

Close means close. ♡ Some friendships are easy to explain. This one is simply easier to see.
An unlikely friendship ♡

THEY SIMPLY
CHOSE EACH OTHER

If someone had tried to design the perfect pair of best friends, they probably would not have started here.

A rabbit and a parrot?

One quiet and gentle. One colourful and expressive.

One with long soft ears. One with wings.

Yet friendship has never been especially interested in following rules.

Richie and Pi simply became part of each other’s world.

They stay close. They share quiet moments. They explore together.

And sometimes they just sit beside one another as though this was always the most natural thing in the world.

Different animals.
Same little world.

BLUE SKY.
WHITE HOUSES.
TWO FRIENDS.

Their days are filled with sunshine, white walls, flowers and the blue sea beyond. For Richie and Pi, even an ordinary day can feel like a little Mediterranean adventure.

BETTER

The duo Completely different. Completely inseparable.
Friendship has no species

NO NEED
TO BE THE SAME

Gentle Bright ♥ Loyal Adventurous Curious Together

Maybe that is what makes their friendship so easy to love.

There is no reason Richie and Pi should need to be alike.

Friendship does not ask whether you have paws or wings. It does not care whether you are quiet or noisy. It does not check whether you look the same.

Sometimes all that matters is feeling safe beside someone.

Choosing them again tomorrow — and knowing they will probably still be right there.

SHARING
IS
CARING.

Fresh greens, sunshine and your best friend beside you. Some lunches really do have everything.

Pi & Richie

ALWAYS
CLOSE

Pi may be the brighter, louder-looking half of this friendship, but there is something wonderfully gentle in the way he stays close to Richie.

Beside him. Leaning against him. Watching over him.

Their bond turned Pi into an unexpected little protector and one of Richie’s closest companions.

It is affectionate, funny, slightly unexpected — and completely theirs.

THE FRIENDSHIP
NOBODY PLANNED

So this is Richie and Pi.

One little rabbit. One bright pink parrot.

A gentle heart. A huge personality.

Peaceful days by the sea. Shared lunches. Adventures. Quiet moments.

And a friendship nobody could have planned.

Maybe we do not always choose who will become important to us. Sometimes we simply meet. We stay.

And somehow, without anyone deciding it, two completely different lives become one story.

That is exactly why Richie and Pi belong on the first PETS & DOGUE cover.

Better together.
