It’s good to have something lasting and steady in a world where everything changes so fast. For many of us, our pets and their love are the things we can always count on, no matter what happens. They sleep hugging the same old toys for years on end and they love cuddling with us, just like they used to do when they were little kittens and puppies, even though they’re all grown up now. These lovely sights keep us warm, and it’s even better when we manage to make those moments last in photographs.

Here at Bright Side, we found 20 people who shared their photos of the sweet things that never change as life goes by, and each of these photos made us go “Aww.”

1. “She’s a 9-year-old chunk now and she gets jealous when she sees our smaller dogs on our laps, so I have succumbed to her wishes.”
