Here is this wholesome list of animals showing their love to humans, and surely it is enough to make your heart melt.
1. They grow on you
But we love seeing the relationship work out like this.
2. Partners in crime
It’s so easy to get away with being naughty and/or goofy with a furry friend nearby.
3. Support system
If only we were still small enough to Netflix and chill like this.
4. Special moments
Sometimes dogs really do make the best company though!
5. Guard dog
The pup looks simply smitten!
6. Making it work
Sometimes you just have to improvise.
My boyfriend Cliff works from home, but our kitten Simon insists on being held multiple times throughout the day. This was impacting Cliff’s ability to get work done so we had to fashion a kitten sling so that Simon could get his snuggles in and Cliff could work. from r/aww
7. Pillow pals
Imagine having this photo to look back on your whole life.
8. No naughty cats here
Just look at that innocent face!
9. Fluffy nurse
It’s nice to know someone cares!
10. You’re all mine
Some people think dogs are the only animals that wrap their paws around their owners, but they’re sorely mistaken.
11. Somebody to lean on
But it’s just as likely that the pup is lending dad some early morning moral support.
12. I pet your face
Some people assume cats aren’t very loving creatures, but they couldn’t be more wrong.
13. The coverup
Everybody likes a nice warm blanket to enhance their naptime and this furry babysitter is making sure the baby is warm, cozy, and bundled up tight.
14. Friends forever
Sometimes we even feel a little jealous when we’re not included.
My dog, who has never liked cats, adopted my bottle baby foster kitten. She adopted him too, I think. from r/aww
15. Big spoon
They’re like two peas in a pod.
16. Hush little baby, don’t you cry
This human-cat team rescued a crying kitten from the street and the resident feline made sure the baby knew everything was going to be alright.
17. It’s so hard to say goodbye
Is someone cutting onions in here?
18. Stuck like glue
And those rare, wonderful moments when our cats are in the same mood are certainly photo-worthy!
19. Baby mine
But many pups are so happy to see their new siblings that they immediately become caretakers and protectors to the most vulnerable members of the household.
20. Spoonman
How sweet are these two?
21. Protecting the littles
This baby is well-protected by her furry guardians.
22. Hello there
This sweet kitty just wants some love from the one she loves.
23. I’d rather be with you
That or it’s a very compelling book!
24. Freedom kitten
How awesome is it that these guys took in a stray and gave it some love while on duty?
And it looks like this kitten is repaying the favor by being a real sweetheart.
25. We all have bad days
They don’t make you talk about it, they just give you the unconditional love you need to put yourself back together.

These two are simply the sweetest!

36. Family comes in all shapes and sizes
Isn’t it wonderful when pets welcome little ones into the family with no drama?

It’s like they have a sixth sense that alerts them to when we’re feeling ill so they can be nearby.
