17 Pics That Remind Us the World Is Full of Warmth

Photographs have the power to evoke emotions — including heartfelt ones. That’s why when we see pictures of animals all cuddled up with people, kids doing sweet gestures, or other images that radiate pure happiness, we get a warm and fuzzy feeling, like sipping on a hot cup of cocoa on a cold, rainy day.

Bright Side put together this album of aww-worthy photos that are overflowing with so many good vibes, they’ll warm your hearts too.
