Regardless of the type of animals that people own, over time, they become more than just pets. Soon, they’re family. And while some call it sweet and others creepy, they have a way of looking into their owner’s soul. Sometimes, it’s because they want more attention than they’re getting and other times because they were just scolded for doing something bad.
No matter the reason, pets have an uncanny way of looking at you that makes them appear fragile. To better understand what we mean, check out these 60 photos. If you’re a pet owner, you’ll get it right away.
1. Yep…that’s a mama’s boy
Just look at this adorable pup. With his head rested on his owner’s check and his arm gently wrapped around her, there’s no question who his favorite human is. Those gorgeous eye say it all, he’s a mama’s boy.
The woman who owns this kitty introduced her to the boyfriend. While he’s minding his own business sitting on the couch, this is what happened. The cat immediately fell in love and from the looks of this photo, she just staked her claim on him.
You know what they say, “Turnabout is fair play.” In this case, the family’s Golden Retriever has a special love for his human dad. And he’s more than happy to prove it with his extra big hugs.
We don’t know what this Pug did to get in trouble but after being scolded, he responded like this. His owner said he didn’t move for a full 10 minutes. This little guy needs to learn not to hold grudges.
After adopting a cute new puppy, the owner’s original dog wasn’t very happy. And he had no problem letting her know. What do you want to bet an hour after this photo was taken the two pups were best friends?
6. Okay, we can be friends
Initially, every time this cat’s owner tried to pet him, he’d make an ugly face and try to scratch. But it was only after the fourth attempt, the kitty decided the hand/paw touching thing wasn’t so bad after all.
The person who grooms this dog ran across him and the owner while on a walk. The dog was shocked to see the groomer outside of the salon. The look on his face is priceless.
One look in this puppy’s eyes and you know who she loves the most. It’s as though her body just melted into him. There’s no denying she’s in love. This is cuteness overload.
When bringing a puppy into the home, everyone loves and cuddles it. And while the pup does the same in return, they often connect with one person. In this case, she decided this guy was her human… his feelings were mutual.
Every time this guy plays video games, his cat comes to snuggle. Then, she lovingly looks into his eyes and doesn’t move. You have to wonder what she’s thinking.
This guy admits that when it comes to the love that his cat showers him with, he’s undeserving. In a short video clip, the kitty slowly makes her way toward him. As soon as she reaches him, she plops down on his chest.
A lot of pets can sense when their owners are sick or sad. In this case, this precious girl’s human mom had a super rough day. As soon as she laid down, her furry friend came over to give her a hug and reassuring gaze.
Animals can also sense when their humans are getting ready to take a trip. This sweet kitty was trying her best to convince her owners that she should go with them. How could they say no to those adorable eyes?
This puppy knew there was a reason for them being at the vet. Sure enough, it was time for his vaccinations and he took them like a real champ. It looks like he’s trying to keep his owner calm rather than the other way around.
Whether this kitty’s owner is working on the computer, changing the television channel, or trying to enjoy dinner, this kitty wants love. And she’s so gentle when she asks.
16. You’re breaking my heart
This dog’s owner was busy packing their suitcase before heading to the airport. After closing it, they looked up and this was what they saw. Talk about feeling guilty.
Although this adorable puppy is only four months old, he’s mastered the art of showing love to his owner. He looks deeply into her soul with those big, dark eyes. He never leaves her side.
18. Part of her special day
When this woman got married, there was no way her 14-year-old pup wasn’t going to be part of her wedding day. As the two of them stare at each other, you can see the mutual love and respect.
This cat, named Whiskey, had just turned 21 years old when this photo was taken. Unexpectedly, he approached his human dad to do this. He felt so blessed.
As a child, this man wasn’t allowed to have any pets. So, as an adult, his wife surprised him with this gorgeous kitten. Now, the two of them can’t get enough of each other.
This beautiful boy’s owner told him “no.” As you can see, that didn’t go over very well. Without barking or staring, he got his point across loud and clear.
When it’s time for bed, this kitty doesn’t mess around. Apparently, her owner isn’t fast enough so she gives her a look and meow as if saying, “Hurry up.” How cute.
Not only does this beautiful Pitbull give his dad a loving gaze but he also flashes the best smile ever. This dad should never question the love his pet has for him.
24. A complete transformation
This handsome cat was adopted from a shelter more than 10 years ago. Initially, he was scared and aggressive. But with patience and a lot of love, he’s now a huge cuddle bug. What a wonderful transformation.
While looking to adopt a dog, this man found this Pitbull at a shelter. They immediately locked eyes and the rest is history. They have an unbreakable bond.
From the minute this guy and his wife adopted this tiny kitten, they knew they made the right decision. He might be small but the look in his eyes tells a huge story. We love this.
Here, you have an elderly man with his beloved cat. Just looking at the two of them together, you can feel intense love. They sit like this for hours.
If you put food down in front of most dogs, they just can’t hold back. But this adorable pup has excellent manners. While he wants the bread really bad, he’ll wait until his owner says it’s okay.
This cat was watching a television documentary about wild lions devouring their prey. His eyes look soft and sweet but with his ears back, his owner’s worried he might be too easily influenced. Time to switch to a different show.
For quite some time, this precious puppy would ride like this in the car because he thought his owner was taking him to the vet. Fortunately, he’s come to realize that car rides also end up at fun places…like the dog park.
Of course, this beautiful girl loves her owner but when the boyfriend comes over, it’s all about him. Along with gazing deep into his soul, this pup shows she trusts him 100 percent.

This man and his cat have such a unique bond that a friend wanted to capture it in a photo. There’s something special about their connection, which you can see by the way they look at each other.
36. An incredible alternative
Due to the pandemic, this guy and his fiancé had to cancel their wedding. So, they came up with an excellent alternative. They adopted this sweet puppy.
The woman who owns this fluffy cat adores her. But for some reason, she doesn’t get the same kind of look as her boyfriend does. Every time he visits, she wants in his lap and then just stares.
When visiting a shelter, this man was attracted to this gorgeous pup. But the staff told him that he wasn’t very tactile, meaning he had a hard time connecting with people. Yeah, they were just a little off base. This was the pooch’s first night in his new home.
39. “Do I have to share?”
After putting the dog food down, this pup was joined by a flock of hungry pigeons. Yet, he waited patiently for them to eat and was super gentle.
How could they get another dog? This boy feels like his owners betrayed him. Little does he know, that’s three days-worth of his hair swept into a pile. Now, that’s funny.
This recently adopted dog, named Moose, already loves his new mom to pieces. He trusts her so much that he’s willing to tell her all his secrets. We see a long and beautiful relationship for these two.
42. He’s the complete package
Here, you see a beautiful dog with mesmerizing yellow/green eyes. But she also has a huge smile on her face. Why’s she so happy? Because her owner’s boyfriend just came home from work.
43. Nothing but a lot of love
If this isn’t the epitome of love and admiration, we don’t know what is. This kitty’s eyes remained focused on the most important thing in his life…his human dad. What a wonderful photo.
He might be but who cares? With a face like that, this dog can interrupt just about anything he wants and get away with it. He just wants to be involved with everything his mom does.
Fortunately, this kitty has a mom who adores him. But even for someone who doesn’t like cats, a cute look like this would melt their heart in a second.
The problem is his mom is putting socks on. That means she’s getting ready to leave the house…without him. Apparently, he becomes extremely depressed every time this happens. It’s nice to be loved that much.
The way this dog looks at his owner and vice versa, there’s no question they have a special connection. We bet that pup would be more than happy to stay in that position 24 hours a day.
If you ever wondered if dogs flirt with people, here’s proof they do. While visiting a friend’s house, this pooch was fascinated by this woman. He couldn’t take his eyes off her…nor his head.
This dog’s owner needs to go to work but he’s doing everything in his power to convince her otherwise. Surely, she could take one day off. But more than likely, that wouldn’t be long enough for this handsome fellow.
Since adopting this beautiful Calico over 13 years ago, she and her owner have been best friends. They cuddle, play, and yes, even share sweet kisses. Hopefully, his significant other doesn’t mind.

This is Delta. And as you can see, not only does she love her human dad but also trusts him explicitly. Most dogs don’t like being in a vulnerable position like this but this pup knows her dad won’t let her down.
If there was an award for the best napping partners in the world, these two might just get it. While some cats like to snuggle, most will only stick around for a short time. Not this guy, he’ll stay put as long as his owner will let him.
A lot of people choose who they date based on their pet’s reaction to them. This pup’s owner might want to keep this lady around as his pooch just gave her two paws up. She’s doggie approved.
Rescued animals are so grateful to be given a second, and sometimes, a third chance at life. This beautiful dog was recently adopted and the look in his eyes shows just how happy he is to have a forever home.
57. Together until the end
At 19, this dog has had a wonderful life filled with love, care, and protection. He might be old but his owners feel honored to have been his family for so long. Hopefully, he’ll be around for many more years to come.
This photo was taken when Penny, a beautiful puppy, and her new dad first met. They couldn’t take their eyes off each other. She just stares at him while he smiles from ear to ear.
Typically, it takes adopted animals several days, if not weeks, to acclimate to their new environment. But this cat was already settled in just one hour after being rescued. It was meant to be.
This cat loves her mom but when her dad picks her up, she quickly goes into a trance-like state. For whatever reason, he has a unique effect on her. She becomes super chill.
