There’s nothing better than a good cuddle during an afternoon nap. And most pups settle for lying side by side, or curled up in their own cozy dog beds. But not these two! They’re snuggled up face to face.

The golden pups are picture perfect! This looks like the quintessential Instagram photo every cute influencer couple aspires to. How lucky that their owners caught the moment on camera.

Did you know otters hold hands when they’re sleeping so they don’t float away from each other? They’re also monogamous and mate for life. You can’t convince me that’s not the purest form of love!

Only parents can truly understand the different, special kind of love that comes with having a child. No one is ever prepared for just how hopelessly charmed they will become with their own children. And these two proud pupper parents are the perfect example of how the same love can be observed in dogs.

I would say they look like a yin yang, but there’s no way in the world there’s any darkness anywhere in this photograph. It’s so full of love! No one can fall asleep this deeply without trusting their nap partner fully. They’re passed out!

From Germany, with Dotty and Zee, to Toronto where Buddy and Pedro live, there are lots of examples of gay penguins out there! Dotty and Zee have been together for ten years, and even raised an adopted an egg after it was abandoned by its mother. They are relationship goals!

“I came home from vacation yesterday, and my dog hasn’t left me alone since.”

That’s one happy dog! I’m not sure I could ever leave the house again if my pet reacted like this to me coming home. Look at that face!

Wait a second… is that Sarabi and Simba? That looks like one happy queen mama, and a very cozy baby. There’s no love or bond quite like a mother and child’s.

Dogs are known as “man’s (and woman’s) best friend” for a reason! Dogs love the outdoors, and they really just seem to be happy no matter what is going on. You can get excited for any reason at any time, and they’ll be right there, ready to party with ya. And they’re always down for a good cuddle. We don’t deserve dogs!

Do you think this one is more: Bye honey, have a good day at work!
or: We’re so happy you’re home from the war, never leave us again!

Fun fact, penguins only live in the southern hemisphere. Some people imagine the arctic circle to be full of penguins and polar bears, but they two species live on opposite poles! You can find penguins just south of the equator in places like Peru, but not any further north in the neighboring country of Colombia.

What do they know that we don’t? Maybe it’s just more comfortable to cuddle in the cold.

The pup looks like he finally got the little brother he’s been hoping for. That baby is going to grow up with a loyal bestie at his side – and very cozy napping partner! That’s goals.

The saying “fighting like dogs and cats” needs to be thrown out, effective immediately. There are far more inter-species friendships than we ever find foes. Just look at these two – not a mean bone in their bodies. All love!

What are the odds of this?! He must be the only Dalmatian in the world with this perfect spot placement. 10/10 would give lots of pets.

Whoa, I had to do a double take. The look on the grey tabby’s face is hysterical! He knows he’s been defeated, and the price is being showered with kisses. A hard life for a cat isn’t it?

Have you ever seen an animal love a toy (or anything) more than this? He can recognize the soft stuffed animal looks like him and he never wants to let it go. This is so precious!

They say people tend to pair up with someone else who looks similar to themselves. Only one in every 10,000 wild tigers is born white. So the likelihood of these two finding each other is slim! But it was meant to be. They’re like two twinning peas in a pod.

These two look like they’ve just had a very serious conversation. But nothing can come between two beings in love. They look inseparable, with hearts full of love.

They just couldn’t stay separated, not even in their sleep! Their little paws are still holding on to one another while they dream sweet kitty dreams. Knowing cats, they’ll probably wake up and start pawing at each other, but it’s a nice moment.

The look on this dog’s face is screaming: this is my kitten pet now. And I think the human owners will be lucky if they get any time to play with the little cat! They’re too busy cuddling with the dog.

It’s been proven that human contact is good for your health, but what about pet contact? In my opinion (and probably this man’s too) animal contact is even better.

Kisses on kisses on kisses galore! These two are so in love and don’t care who knows it!

These beauties have their heads in the clouds… and not just because they’re so long! They’re in love and enjoy a good snuggle, even if its hard for them to cozy up on a couch like humans do.

What’s that song again… three little monkeys, jumping on a bed, one rolled off and bumped his head. These little guys are way better off all piled together staying nice and safe up in the trees.

Look at how the black leopard is looking so lovingly into the eyes of the spotted leopard! Jungle cats like these guys are usually solitary, but I have a feeling they’re going to grow up thick as thieves.

What a charming moment! There’s nothing more important than family. I wonder if all three of them hold hands while they’re floating around.

A cute little kiss on the cheek goes a long way. The receiver looks so happy! He’s really feeling the love.

Zebras may not mate for life, but that doesn’t mean they don’t fall in love! Just look at how cute these two are together on their little walk through the African plains.

We’ve all shot this look to our significant other when we finish each other’s sentence, say the same thing at the same time, or know we’re sharing the same thought. Yup, that’s love alright.

A key part of being in love, is being silly together. Which is certainly true for this hilarious pair of playmates! They look like they’re having a ball.

Okay, if you aren’t already obsessed with otters I don’t know what more I need to do to convince you. They hold hands, they cuddle, and the mamas even carry the young ones around on their bellies. It’s too much for my little heart to handle!

What is this the vegan version of… Lady and the Tramp? Learning to share half of your food with your significant other is a major part of dating. You need to find the person who will eat the unwanted pickle on your plate, or order the pasta you like so you can share. That’s love!

Oh, deer! Their heart-shaped noses are too much for me. Nara, Japan is a city that’s famous for the wild deer that roam freely. Tourists can visit a park where the deer will happily walk over to say hello, and you may even catch them stealing a kiss like this photographer did!

With their necks bowed like that, they almost look heart shaped! They’re all entangled with each other, how sweet!

Pigeons get a bad rep, and while they may be pests on the streets of the city… they can love too! These lovebirds look picture perfect in their little embrace. They’re precious together.
