They’re called “man’s best friend” for a reason, people…

Because it’s 100000%, unequivocally true that dogs are our best companions!

They help us get through the hard times, they love us unconditionally, and, if you were lucky enough to grow up with a dog, you know that it made your childhood a lot more special.

Here are some incredibly wholesome photos of kids with their dogs that we think will brighten your day.

Let’s take a look!

1. Not nervous anymore.

Is this sweet, or what?

My daughter was nervous around dogs, and then she met this guy. He let her love all over him for 20 minutes and afterwards, her fear was gone. Thank you, sweet boy, for making her into the dog lover she is! from aww

2. I bet she loved it!

I have a feeling that these two are best friends.

It’s my dogs 4th birthday, my daughter spent all her pocket money buying her a steak. from aww

3. A proud older brother.

4. This is very sweet.

And he’s a very good boy.

My dog is 18, has trouble standing. Since Clare was born, he stands for hours watching. Good boy from pics

You gotta love it!

That’s what dogs are for.

They make a dynamic duo, don’t you think?

11. He looks vicious…

But he was just sneezing.

Step 1: try to take cute pic of dog and baby. Step 2: dog sneezes during pic. Step 3: accidentally capture my dogs inner demon, and my son thinks it’s funny. from funny

12. They can’t get enough of each other.

And they’ll have a great bond as they both grow up.
