In fact, Chihuahua-mamatero is so comfortable with his role as muse that he sometimes dozes off while in character!

Semba’s secret to getting him into character? She simply tells him to “go home” and he gladly pops his little face through mom’s latest creation.

As for which member of the imaginative duo deserves the most credit for their artistic endeavors, Semba says humbly:

“The main character is the non-moving dog, and my art skill is secondary,”
