Our names are Mike and Jen McKenna and together, we founded Little Chief & Co. back in 2018. Our love and devotion for dogs has always been strong long before the launch of Little Chief and Co. We have always had a deep appreciation for animals, but having a dog taught us many fundamental life skills including responsibility, patience, empathy and companionship. Over the years, each dog that has been part of our lives impacted us differently and supported us with unconditional love. We see dogs as a grounding force that improves personal development; emotionally, physically and spiritually.
This is Melvin, our Boston Terrier (and yes, that is his adorable face on the logo!) We love to describe him as C-3PO from Star Wars. Melvin is very inquisitive and friendly, but really he likes to be calm and stick to a routine. He is always very prim and proper and sometimes we think he could be Canada’s Next Top Dog Model; I mean if this was a show, who wouldn’t watch!
Here’s Betta, our French Bulldog, and in her sibling relationship with Melvin, she’s more alike to R2D2. She can be quiet and passive at times, but don’t be fooled by her small size! She always seems to surprise people with her mischievous antics despite her shy exterior. Even though she doesn’t have her face on the logo, she still loves being a part of a good Instagram photoshoot!Â
