These Wholesome Photos Of People Meeting Their New Fur-Babies Are Extremely Heartwarming
Adding a pet to the family is a significant event. It doesn't matter if it's your fourth dog, your seventh cat, or your first pet; it's a life-changing moment for both humans and animals alike. Animal lovers know when they've found the right pet to bring home, whether it's a puppy, kitten, senior, or anything in between. When you feel that connection, there is no other pet on earth that would do. You get that animal, and they become yours forever.
The moment of realization that, "this is it, this animal is my family now," is pure and precious. When it's captured on camera and shared on the Internet, we can all feel the emotion, and we're often taken back to our own moments in time, permanently etched in our hearts, when a pet became family.
Happy Squeezes!
