If you ever encounter someone who is considering getting a pet but is unsure, give them a link to this article and watch them be immediately convinced to get one after they read it. Because today, our amazing users have shared with us stories of ways in which their pets comfort them, and we found ourselves grateful to our own pets all over again.

It's like they can tell when we need them, coming to us and showing us affection in the best way that they can. And if your pet has ever tried to comfort you, you know that no matter how sad you were, having them showing you love like that did manage to make you at least a little happier.

Sometimes, all that you really need is the proximity. You know, as an owner, that they don't show love the same ways humans do. You understand their behavior, and you recognize when their behavior towards you is different than normal. So, when they come closer to you than normal, trying to show you some extra affection and comfort, you definitely know how to appreciate that as well.

And sometimes, they go the extra mile and bring us something that makes them personally happy in the hopes of making us happy. You tell me if you could ever withstand smiling at something like that happening, because I definitely can't. Any show of affection from my pets makes me the happiest person in the world, and imagining something like this happening is no different.
