People Are Putting Their Pets on Their Shoulder in a New Trend and It Might Be the Cutest One Yet

Starting 2021 on the right note, pet owners have started a new trend that basically involves lifting their pet up, putting it on their shoulder, and snapping a photo. While most animals are loving it, some are trying to bend the rules, making the photos even more adorable.
