By the looks of the latest Mamika and Bob photo series, French photographer Sacha Goldberger's [adorable grandmother](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grandmas-couch-2-rivalry-lo) found a [companion to keep her company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onorato-ai) in her old age. Granted, this companion is a rooster, but who's to judge? Not only does he appear to make her happy, he meets her eccentric standards.

The two are even captured [gallivanting around the city of Paris](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-mal-aime) in the Mamika and Bob photo series. Hilariously styled by Justine Allain and Sarah in everything from a fur coat and lace dress to a full-blown chicken costume, Mamika's look was perfected by makeup artist Charlotte Honinckx. Julien Lions retouched the candid moments to make the romance appear a lot more stylized, which is in line with the Mamika series as a whole.
