When we get older, there are a lot of things to do that make it difficult to us to spend as much time with our pets as we want to. But the ones who have no troubles with it are children! That’s why they can spend time with their beloved pets 24/7.

Today we selected 18 photos of the lucky ones among people and pets, who don’t yet know what friendship is, but already obtained it, thanks to each other!

Somehow many forget to give gifts to pets during the holidays. Though we love them no less!
