Q: Hola Kreacher! Let's start with the basics, where are you from and how did you meet your furrever soulmate?
A: I’m Italian but was born and raised by an adoring human in Southern California. Our love story is a little unconventional. We actually met at a Trader Joe’s parking lot. I know, not as fabulous as you’d expect huh? But I love my human. He took me in when nobody else would. You see… I was the last of my litter and nobody would choose me because of how fragile of a puppy I was and the kink on my tail. But my human saw beyond that and has adored me every day since. I’m so lucky!
Q: Tell us more about your unique name?
A: The human is fascinated by what is considered morbid and unusual. He didn’t want to give me a typical dog or human name. So he came up with “creature” which reminded him of “Kreacher,” a dark and mysterious character from his favorite childhood book, Harry Potter.
Q: What's your sun sign?
A: I'm a Scorpio ♏︎ I tend to be discreet, even secretive, with an air of mystery just like daddy. I am fearless, bold, passionate, creative, and fiercely loyal.
Q: You are such a natural in front of the camera, was it always this way?
A: Yes, dangle a delicious vegan treat in front of me and I’ll give you all the poses, no complaints. Well… of course, so long as I can devour a treat every now and again.

Q: What are your biggest style inspirations and influences?
A: My human’s aesthetic has really rubbed off on me. What I think of when creating or introducing anything new into my life is bold, minimalism, and rock n’ roll.
Q: What are some words that you live by/ What is your philosophy on life?
A: Be happy, you deserve it.
Q: What does a day in the life of Kreature look like?
A: When I’m not being followed by the puparazzi (lol) I like to enjoy a day at home snuggled up under a blanket, taking long walks and long naps, zippin’ and zoomin’ in the backyard and cuddling with the human.
Q: What is your favorite indulgence/guilty pleasure?
A: I don’t believe in feeling guilt for enjoying pleasure. But I must say, that I do indulge in daytime sleeping. By 3 pm I’m already on my 5th nap of the day. It’s definitely an unrestrained pleasure.
Q: Who are your current favorite artists (design, photography, art)?
A: Oh my gosh! so many. The top 3 would be Martín Margiela, Robert Mapplethorpe, and William Wegman
Q: Do you have advice for aspiring Worthy Muses?
A: Yes! It’s simple, just be unapologetically and authentically yourself.

Q: Hola Raúl! What is your favorite aspect of your dog-son and describe what he means to you?
A: My favorite thing about my doggo is that he is very loving and affectionate. I love the way he loves, it’s so inspiring. I wished humankind could love as strongly and honestly as a dog… imagine how incredible this world would be. He gives me hope in humanity and shines a light on the fact that creatures are innately kind.
Q: Who are your biggest dog-son and dad influences/inspirations?
A: There are three dog-child and parent relationships that I see myself in: Picasso and Lump, Warhol and Archie, & Frida Kahlo and Mr. Xolotl. Not only did they lead creative/artistic lives but I admire the relationships they held with their beloved dog-children.
Q: What is the most challenging/rewarding part of having such a special dog-son and dad relationship?
A: The most challenging part would be explaining to everyone that although he is not an actual baby…. he IS and will always be MY baby.
