We Have Often Seen,

street artist,

being totally still, but here is one with a difference, a double act, Yorge Luís Ruiz of Fortaleza, in Brazil, has made quite a name for himself thanks to his partner, a pet dog, who assists him when he does his realistic living statue routine, photographs cachorrinhaartista/Instagram,

the Venezuelan street artist immigrated to Brazil in search of a better life, He settled in Fortaleza, in the northeastern state of  Ceará,

 Yorge and Jaspe have been drawing attention around Fortaleza for a while now, but they recently received international acclaim thanks to a Twitter video of their routine which went viral, getting over 5 million views, 260,000 likes, and 91,000 comments in the last three weeks, the pair now have nearly 90,000 followers on Instagram and have been contacted by multiple news agencies interested in doing a story on them,

Ruiz claims that he never trained the dog, and that everything just happened naturally, He’s been doing his living statue routine for six years, but Jaspe only became a part of the act when they moved to Brazil, six years ago, He didn’t have anyone to leave her with, so he started bringing her along, at one point he noticed that Jaspe lifted her head and froze into place whenever he kissed her on the neck, and since she was always with him anyway, he decided to use her reaction as part of the living statue routine, and as they say, the rest is history,  for more photographs of Yorge and Jaspe, check out their Instagram page, what a neat double act.
