It is not just "a dog" or "a cat" - and anyone who lives with a pet knows very well that it is not just a simple animal, but "someone" who has become part of the family. And sometimes they are the only family members we have!

As such, they always demonstrate how affectionate they are towards us! In fact, dogs, cats, and even parakeets (budgies) all have their own unique way to show the love they feel for us.

Besides, a house becomes a more welcoming place when there is a four-legged animal that wags its tail and is happy to see us when we return from work.

Here is a photo gallery showing how much we love and appreciate our pets - while also displaying the close relationship that bonds them to us!
