Dogs make everything better. If you’ve had a long day at work or school, you get to come home to a wagging tail and lots of cuddles with your fluffy friend.
Dogs stand by our side through thick and thin, so of course we treat them like a member of our family. Dogs can sense when we’re sad and do their best to comfort us; they might lick our face or jump into our lap for some cuddles to cheer us up.
In short, dogs are amazing creatures, and they deserve nothing but the best from us. For animals who give unconditional love without thinking twice, we would be crazy not to give it right back to them.
If you’re a dog lover, you will enjoy the following photos of dogs and their owners growing up together.
Here are 20 touching photos of dogs and their owners growing old together:
1. These two have been together for 20 years! Most dogs don’t live past 13-14, so this is definitely a huge blessing.
2. Bernese mountain dogs are so beautiful (and adorable)!
