Few things are cuter than hearing the sound of paws hitting the floor when your dog runs to greet you at the door or watching your cat purr lovingly in your lap. While a pet—any pet—is a huge responsibility, they are also an immense joy, a part of the family, making life just a little bit more exciting when they’re around; which, in some cases, can be up to 10, 15, or even 20 years.

Today, we want to celebrate the beloved pets that accompany their owners through many ups and downs over the years. We have put together a list of some of the cutest ‘then and now’ pics of critters posing with their favorite humans, showing just how loyal and loving they are; so scroll down to find the pictures below, but view them at your own risk – some of them might simply be too cute.

Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with Dr. Anastasia Stellato, an Assistant Professor in Companion Animal Science at Texas Tech University, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about the human-animal bond.

And you both are pretty and seem to be Happy. Congratulations!

As much as I would hate to admit it, we all know that life with pets is not always fun. There are times when they cause serious problems, be it because of their habit to chew on something expensive, or their tendency to rip apart whatever important document they can find. Moreover, there’s always the stress of having to take them to the vet if need be or the total heartbreak once it’s time to say your goodbyes.

Be that as it may, all of the positives arguably outweigh the negatives; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many choosing to share their home with a pet. According to the 2024 APPA (American Pet Products Association) National Pet Owners Survey, as many as 82 million households in the US own a pet.

According to the aforementioned survey, dogs are by far the most popular choice, as they can be found in roughly 58 million households around the country; the second most popular pet, cats, can be found in as many as 40 million of them. If you were wondering – next on the list are freshwater fish, reptiles, birds and other small animals, and horses respectively.

EUSharpie Report

May you celebrate some more birthdays, tough guy!

Discussing what makes dogs and cats such common choices for people looking for a pet, Assistant Professor in Companion Animal Science at Texas Tech University, Dr. Anastasia Stellato suggested that the two offer companionship and have the capability to live easily in our homes and be integrated within our varied lifestyles.

“In this way, they can live alongside us within our family units and take part in our day-to-day tasks and adventures, such as road trips, travel, social events, or hikes, for instance. In addition to a variety of other reasons, I believe this may explain why they are more popular compared to other animals,” the expert told Bored Panda.

That turtle will outlive you, possibly.

Having a companion for all sorts of activities, from hiking and road trips to snuggling on the sofa, is just one of the many benefits of sharing a home with a pet. “Research has found that brief interactions with companion animals can lead to improvement in mood,” Dr. Stellato told Bored Panda, naming another perk of such an arrangement.

“[In addition to that,] owning a pet has been associated with reduced stress, improved physical health (cardiovascular health and survival rates), mental health (reduced feelings of loneliness, reduced reports of depression), and improved social skills and self-esteem.”

While there are many positives that come from owning a pet, it’s not only humans that benefit from such a friendship. According to Dr. Stellato, owners provide their pets with secure attachments, routine, and guide them through the world while accommodating the environment and interactions to suit their needs, consequently maximizing their welfare.

“Promoting their welfare involves creating opportunities for positive experiences while reducing the negative experiences,” she explained, adding that research also found that animals experience an increase in oxytocin—happy hormone—during certain interactions with humans.

Love the grey beards.

While any person can arguably benefit from having a loyal friend, such as a dog, a cat, or a reptile, for that matter, it is arguably especially important for kids and young adults.

In the interview with Bored Panda, Dr. Stellato emphasized that that is not only because of the aforementioned positive aspects of a strong human-animal bond, but also because it helps kids develop a sense of responsibility.

“A sense of responsibility is achieved when they are held accountable to care for another being, especially when taught and expected to perform responsible pet care, such as cleaning, walking, feeding, grooming, or training.”

kasey8 Report

Same adorable expressions on both!

Chances are, quite a few pet owners in these pictures became more responsible because of the creatures that depended on them. What is even more likely is that they probably got to enjoy endless hours of playtime, scenic walks, and snuggles, with their friends, which ought to have increased their own levels of oxytocin, too.

A writer here at Bored Panda, I am a lover of good music, good food, and good company, which makes food-related topics and feel-good stories my favorite ones to cover. Passionate about traveling and concerts, I constantly seek occasions to visit places yet personally unexplored. I also enjoy spending free time outdoors, trying out different sports—even if I don’t look too graceful at it—or socializing over a cup of coffee.

I’m a “one-man orchestra” both in life and here at Bored Panda, even though my title is a visual editor. After finishing my Creative Industries studies with the BA in Communication, I explored the city driving a cab and created many t-shirt designs working as a graphic designer, right before my career took off at Bored Panda office back in 2017. Since then I’m dedicated to find the best pictures of funny and adorable animals for the articles I make, though I especially love supplying readers with tattoo designs. P.S. Tell your dog Akvile said hi!

I'm a Visual Editor for Bored Panda. I’m also an analog collage artist. My love for images and experience in layering goes well with both creating collages by hand and working with digital images as an Editor. When I’m not using my kitchen area as an art studio I also do various experiments making my own cosmetics or brewing kombucha. When I’m not at home you would most definitely find me attending a concert or walking my dog.

I don’t care if there are 200 or 500 photos, I want more of these kind of lists BP!!

This post made my eyes leak. Our pets do not live nearly long enough. I'd happily give up half my lifespan if only my dog could have a few more years.

I once read a saying: For your pet you are the only family it will know.

I'm leaking and have snot bubbles. Gives me encouragement as my Rosie is only 13, so maybe another 7 years, I hope.

That's because you don't get a tortoise. It will outlive you, but they're awful at cuddling.

But they can feel your touch through their shells, so be careful. Once I've read that they love to have their shells brushed with a toothbrush.

So many beautiful stories of friendship !
