We present an analysis of physical and morphological properties of aninteracting pair of dwarf galaxies UGC 4703 located at the vicinity of anisolated Milky-Way (MW) type spiral galaxy NGC 2718. Based on the comparison ofphysical and morphological properties with that of the Large and SmallMagellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC), we report that the UGC 4703 pair-NGC 2718system is probably an LMC-SMC-MW analogue. Located at a sky projected distanceof 81 kpc from NGC 2718, we find that UGC 4703 is clearly interacting with itsnearby smaller mass companion UGC 4703B forming a bridge of stellar streambetween them. Total B-band luminosity of UGC 4703 and its companion is -17.75and -16.25 mag, respectively. We obtained HI 21-cm line data of UGC 4703 usingthe GMRT to get a more detailed view of neutral hydrogen (HI) emission. The HIimage revealed evidence of interaction between the dwarf galaxy pair but noextended emission, like Magellanic Stream (MS), was detected between NGC 2781and the UGC 4703 dwarf pair. We also detected star-forming regions along theUGC 4703/ 4703B bridge with stellar mass exceeding 10$^{7}$ M$_{\odot}$. Whilecomparing the optical and HI morphology of the interacting dwarf pairs (UGC4703-4703B and LMC-SMC) we discuss possible difference in interaction historiesof these systems.
