We love our pets and the bond we have formed with them. Sometimes, we forget that they are animals. While animals love to form close relationships with people, they can also do so with other animals. If you have ever raised two puppies or kittens together, you know how adorable they are with each other.
Pets can easily make friends with other animals, too. In fact, animals that wouldn’t normally get along can become best friends if they grow up together or if they are introduced to each other at the right time. Sometimes, the pets are simply playmates, and other times, they are more like brothers and sisters.
In many cases, one pet will take care of the other. That doesn’t mean they won’t have their fair share of arguments and squabbles. You can expect to see a few bites and scratches on them from time to time. The thing about animals is, they love to be loved.
These animals all have friends that they have been raised with. As they have grown up, they have grown closer together. Many of them aren’t even aware that they are any bigger. They sure are cute. These photos of animals growing up together will melt your heart.

This pup’s best friend may not be alive, but he still makes a great companion. The dog had this stuffed animal for comfort when he was a puppy, and he has kept it all these years. He chews on it, sniffs it, and even sleeps with it. He doesn’t care if it’s real or not; he loves it just the same.

It started out innocent enough; he was just a puppy who needed a pillow. Now it’s a habit and a pain for the dog on the bottom. Luckily, these guys are great friends, so the dog on the bottom doesn’t mind that he is being squished. As long as they are together, they are happy.
