Sandi and Eric Swiridoff are the proud parents of Reagan the Labradoodle and the doting foster-grandparents of Buddy the human toddler. Ever since 3-year-old Buddy came along, he and Reagan have been inseparable pals.

Sandi knew that the pair’s heart-melting relationship was just too cute to keep to herself, so she decided to share it with the world via Instagram.

Prepare yourselves for the adorableness of a boy and his pup in matching outfits.

The Swiridoffs decided to bring Reagan home to help them cope with the sadness of saying goodbye to their daughter’s previous two foster children.

It’s pretty difficult to feel blue when there is a Labradoodle puppy around.

Then two years ago, when Buddy was just 11-months-old, he came to live with the Swiridoff family. As soon as Reagan and Buddy met it was clear that they were kindred spirits.

Reagan and Buddy quickly captured the hearts of Instagram users the world over, soaring to more than 100,000 followers.

Mrs. Swiridoff saw the opportunity to give back to the foster system that had brought Buddy to them, so she decided to create a ReaganDoodle calendar and donate the proceeds to the charitable organization, Foster Parents Night Out.

And that’s not all. There is even a book about Reagan and Buddy coming out in 2017 that will also benefit Foster Parents Night Out. It tells the story of the adorable pair and features never-before-seen photos.
