This fabulous little dog is Frida the Grenchie. She is half French Bulldog and half Brussels Griffon and is one of the most adorable dogs I've ever met. We got together for a shoot when I was in London recently and had stacks of fun wandering the streets of Shoreditch in search of cool spots to photograph.
