20 Pets Who Proved to Be Their Humans’ Best Friends for Life

We all should have that one best friend who we can talk to about all of our secrets, that we can count on to experience new adventures together, or who we can laugh with until our belly hurts. To some people, this kind of best friend has 4 legs, fluffy fur, and never leaves their side as the years pass by.

Bright Side found a group of people who are lucky enough to have spent a lifetime of happiness with their furry friends.

1. “My cat and me, 19 years later”

2. “My dog Bear and me — no one could’ve asked for a better friend.”

3. “My dog Cassie and me, 13 years apart”

4. “16 years later in the same pose, with the same cat, and the same hair...”

5. “When we first took her home vs 22 years later — a right old crow!”

6. “My dog, Squirtle, is 15 years old!”

7. “I didn’t just lose a pet, I lost a best friend.”

8. “My cat and me circa 2000, 2012, and 2018. She’s deaf and mostly blind but always purring.”

9. “My cat’s name is Mr. Kitty and he pretty much ran my block for a good 10 years.”

10. “My cat and me — 10 years and 10 days apart”

11. “Came across this photo while cleaning and when we went to bed I noticed we still lie down the same way.”

12. “My dog and me, 8 years apart”

13. “Before and after, 2005 to 2020, my 16-year-old boy”

14. “This was a few days after I got my first kitten and the day before I lost him. 14 years with my best friend.”

15. “I’ve had her since I was 3.”

16. “My cat Beastie and me in 2008 vs 2018”

17. “My dog and I when he was a puppy and now, at 16 years old!”

18. “My dog and me, 17 years apart — she’s been alive for half my life.”

19. “Me with my 17-year-old cat”

20. “My dog and me at 16 weeks vs 4 years — she’s a better blanket now.”

How old is your pet friend? We’d love to see a photo of them.
