While we often fail to determine what goes on in the heads of kids, pets love joining them on their little adventures. Be it going on a toy car ride out in the wild, learning to play piano, or simply watching TV, pets stick by children — making them their true partner in crime.

Bright Side believes kids and pets are like 2 puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. Below are some photos that will help you understand why.

1. “My son and my cat embarking on an epic journey”

2. It took some time, but my dog Ozzie is finally bros with my son.

3. “We adopted these 2 cats the year my son was born, they’ve grown up together, and now the 3 are inseparable.”

4. “My son giving his dog a quick pep talk before the vet comes back.”

5. “This photo perfectly encapsulates my daughter and cat’s companionship.”

6. Caught my son and his cat napping together.

10. My cousin’s daughter and cat fell asleep like this.

11. “A stray parakeet flew to my son yesterday and wouldn’t leave him… we now own a bird named Blue.”

12. The smiles on their faces say it all.

13. “My son and his cat, hanging out, watching Avatar.”

14. My daughter and cat are best friends.

15. “We met a friendly cat on our walk — My son did the only reasonable thing.”

Do your children share a special bond with your pets? We’d love to see their photos together in the comments!
