It’s so nice to always have your friend near you even if this friend has fur and doesn’t understand the human language. And it’s even better if you’ve had such a friend since you were a child. And the children from our compilation definitely agree with this.

We at Bright Side consider the way children and pets find common ground to be another wonder of the world. It’s amazing when sly cats and scary dogs turn into loyal babysitters once a baby appears in the house.

“Someone realized they weren’t an only child anymore…”

“My cat and his friend”

“The baby was crying while I was in the bathroom but suddenly stopped. I came out to find this.”

“My 3-year-old asked for a kitten for Christmas. They became instant best friends and are inseparable now.”

“My boy Lucky was there for my first day of kindergarten and my senior portrait.”

“17 years later. Still my favorite cat.”

“If you hug one of us, you have to hug all of us!”

“Fear not, small human! Here is your balloon.”

A walking cloud and his little friends

“My son loves our dogs. They love him too.”

“Daughter fell asleep. Dogs keep her warm and safe.”
