The pair are reportedly inseparable, travelling everywhere together.
The photo, shared on X (formerly Twitter), quickly garnered attention, with users expressing their delight at the unusual yet endearing companionship. Many shared their own positive experiences, with one user recounting a recent ride in the same auto-rickshaw and meeting Jackie. Comments ranged from “Not a peak but a cute moment” to “This makes my heart so happy!”
