Pet parents can all agree––the companionship of a four-legged friend is truly a special bond. Caring for a pet helps maintain a consistent routine, and supports our emotional wellbeing. Not to mention that the company of a furry friend who is always there can help ease feelings of loneliness, relieve stress and anxiety, and provide unconditional love.
Some of these age-old friendships have even become internet sensations. Pets now have their own social media accounts. Jennifer Aniston’s dog has been featured in Allure magazine, and Taylor Swift’s cats are music-video famous. Jennifer Garner and her golden retriever, Birdie, made an appearance on WeRateDogs, a popular account where you can find daily submissions and cuteness ratings!

“They are real friends. I have some great human friends, of course, but my dog friends are very special. OK, so they don’t text me or buy me flowers, but they do so much more. They pick me up if I need it, they always greet me when I come home and they never complain about anything.”
