20+ Pets Who Show Us How to Love Sincerely

No matter what crazy things our animals do, we can’t help but fall in love with their pure souls and weird habits. Sometimes they act like humans, and other times it seems like they’re even more human than us. From taking care of an abandoned egg to graduating from kindergarten, there are 1,001 reasons why animals are the best.

We at Bright Side collected these 21 photos to see why pet owners love their animals so much. And no, we can’t help but want to give a bear hug to our 4-pawed friends.

1. “My dogs most favorite person in the world is my grandma. It was her 89th birthday yesterday, he had to greet her with a proper hug.”

2. “Today our cat gave birth to 4 kittens, and her blissful exhausted face while hugging her baby is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen.”

3. “Best brothers”

4. “I’m just third-wheeling with my boyfriend and Darlene as usual.”

5. This good girl has nursed a kitten back to life who was found on the brink of death.

6. “Fist bump from a random kitty on our walk”

7. “Picked up Libby 7 weeks ago, and this was her on our way home the first day. She is staring at my girlfriend. They’re in love.”

8. “Popple misses her tiny human during the day.”

14. “One of my 2 cats has worked as a professional model in the past. Can you guess which one?”

15. “I loved him with every fiber of my being. I think he felt the same about me.”

16. “The green button is for my puppy to ask to go outside. He still hasn’t quite grasped it.”

“However, the cat uses it instead to alert when the puppy needs to go out or come back inside.”
