We are fervent believers that love is our main motor and the most important reason for achieving amazing accomplishments and creating extraordinary things that we know will make someone happy. Of course, that includes our pets, who inspire the purest of all loves, matched only by the people who fall under our personal definition of “family”. Well, maybe!

Bright Side compiled some simple yet fabulous things that certain people have been able to create with their own hands for their furry (and sometimes not so furry) life companions.

1. “This bunk bed I made for my pets.”

2. “An old work colleague’s dog unfortunately passed away recently 😢 so she has asked me to make a sculpture for her which I have to say made me feel very honoured.”

3. “Seems like my cats are enjoying the DIY shelving I made for them this weekend!”

4. “My sister made a sweater for Spaghetti… I think he loves it.”

5. “I made a dog house under my stairs and here is how it turned out.”

7. “I made this water filtering bowl for my dogs.”

“I designed it on solidworks then 3D printed a model. Used that model to make a 4 piece plaster mold. Used the plaster mold to slipcast the final part then fired and glazed. The two stainless pieces I had a local metal shop make for me. There is a pump below the plastic filter housing that cycles the water through the filter. And yes it does filter, much better than ones you can buy on Amazon or at pet stores, which is why I started this project to begin with.” thoughtfulocean / Reddit

8. “I built a dog tree for my cat sized dogs. I built this so my Cairn terrier could look out the window of my office. Then we adopted another dog so they have to share now.”

10. “Had some energy and spare pinewood, so I built my dog a nice bed. This is the final result. My little dog called Jacky is a 2 years old Pekingese-Chihuahua combination.”

12. “We built a castle for our dog.”

14. “I know my art is not the best by any means, but I made this in honor of my friend’s dog that recently passed away. I wanted to make it as great as I could for them, even if it isn’t the best.”

15. “Our new kitten arrives tomorrow and I made him a bed!! A feather toy will be attached to the other string in the middle.”

16. Dog Trailer

“I built a trailer to haul my two dogs around town. They are Terriers so they are too little/stubborn to run alongside the bike. We take regular runs out to the lake for a swim and they love it! All made with used bike parts and recycled materials.”

17. “My dad and I made this for my cats with real natural wood. They love it.”

18. “I, too have also built a two-storey house for my dogs. Pictures taken during the last summer.”

19. “This is a cat paw I made with my cat’s ashes.”

“Me and my buddy work together to take the ashes of lost pets and make glass memorials with them. I’ve only been working with glass for a year but I can do a lot now. We love the reactions people give us when they get their memorial❤️(this is a cat paw I made with my cat’s ashes).”

20. “Built my dog a Lego house at work.”

22. “She wanted a dog. I didn’t want a dog. So we compromised and got a dog. I built him a house.”

What is the greatest token of love you have ever given to an animal? It doesn’t matter if it’s something material or not.
