KoKo might be small in size, but she’s overflowing with personality. With her jet-black coat, keen little eyes and an expressive face that captures emotion with ease, she has a magnetic presence that demands attention without ever trying too hard. There’s something almost human in the way she observes the world – alert, thoughtful and deeply connected to those around her. KoKo is curious by nature, full of playfulness and warmth, and has an effortlessly friendly way of winning over both people and animals alike. She’s even formed an unlikely but heartwarming bond with Monroe, the neighbour’s bunny, often seen sunbathing beside him in companionable silence.

The Brussels Griffon is a toy breed with a rich Belgian heritage, once employed to keep stables free of vermin before becoming a cherished lapdog of the aristocracy. The smooth-coated variety, like KoKo, offers a sleeker appearance that shows off the breed’s compact, sturdy frame and expressive features. Their unmistakable monkey-like face, combined with a big-dog attitude, has made them a cult favourite among dog lovers and filmmakers alike. Notably, a Brussels Griffon famously stole scenes in the film As Good As It Gets, and their unique look continues to lend charm to roles requiring something a little bit different.

KoKo’s blend of intelligence, emotional expressiveness and highly trainable nature makes her an exceptional choice for a wide array of screen roles. With a strong skill set that includes sit, stay, recall, paw, roll over and barking on cue, she’s well equipped for precise direction and on-camera moments that require comedic timing or clear reactions.

She’s especially well suited to roles involving intimate, character-driven scenes, such as indie films, quirky commercials or children’s programming where her distinct look and confident presence can bring depth and light-heartedness. Her ability to form fast connections with both other animals and people makes her ideal for ensemble scenes or family narratives.

Whether perched in the background adding charm to a living room setting, rolling over in a garden scene or barking on cue during a dramatic beat, KoKo delivers with reliability and flair. Her comfort in new environments and calm around varied species makes her ideal for more complex filming days where versatility is key.

With an unmistakable silhouette and an expressive face that conveys a spectrum of moods, KoKo is a perfect choice for both conceptual and commercial photography. She has already posed for fashion-forward dogwear brand Scout’s Honour, helped build portfolios with Pawtiqe and brought personality to a luxury charity calendar campaign for Anabela Chan. KoKo also recently starred in a promotional video for sustainable pet fashion label Eddgy, where she demonstrated not only her visual appeal but also her ability to hold position with poise and patience.

KoKo adapts beautifully to lifestyle shoots, boutique branding, artist collaborations and editorial projects where animal presence enhances emotional connection. She can elevate eco-conscious campaigns, lend quirky elegance to jewellery promotions or enhance home and garden products with warmth and whimsy.

Her ability to maintain a pose on cue, combined with her comfort in studio or outdoor settings, makes her an asset for brands seeking a dependable yet dynamic dog. KoKo’s love of snacks certainly doesn’t hurt when it comes to motivation, and her enjoyment of human interaction adds sincerity to every frame.
