20 Pet Parents and Their “Children” Who Adore Each Other Beyond Belief

Sometimes, pets and their humans are matches made in heaven. Some fall in love at first sight, some grow closer over time, others bond over a shared interest in video games. And some just vibe together — pretty much the same as how human relationships work.

Bright Side adores animals just as much as the next guy, so we collected 20 photos of happy pets and pet owners to brighten your day.
