The duo reportedly were quite the spectacle as Chilli traveled in a "royal carriage" to visit Big Ben, London Eye and Horse Guards Parade.
El-Saie developed a true bond with Chili after she "recognized his soul," she told SWNS.
"When I first met Chilli, he made a beeline for me and put his little paws on my knees. He looked up at me and I knew we were meant to be," the content creator from West London added.

"It was like I recognized his soul, there was something about him and his energy, the way he was [that] I understood — I spoke to him," she continued.
"Chilli is a very anxious, reactive dog."
Yasmin started sharing Chilli's life on Facebook, where he immediately became a hit, gaining over 10,000 followers.
