13 Photos Of People Who 'Didn't Want A Pet' Eating Their Words

If you've read I Can Has Cheezburger a bit, then you probably know by now that we love to showcase humans who thought they didn't want pets. Thought. Muah hahahahaha… Those foolish humans thought wrong. Whether their reasons were not being a cat person or a dog person, or not wanting a pet at all, basically everyone who ever said that ate their words. For example, these Dads who fell in love with pets they didn't want. Oh how the tables have turned…

But seriously, people claiming they don't want pets and then loving them is a tale as old as time... That's why we took to Twitter to find the cutest, funniest, and all together most heckin' amazing stories about the power of love and the power of the cute. These Twitter users prove that anyone can become a cat person, or a dog person, or simply a pet person. Take a look:

Let's all just admire their bond silently instead of making fun of this man who ever dared to say he didn't want a pet dog. Fool…

    Glasses - MotherOfShenanigans @ChristyShenani1 Replying to @Padmalakshmi and @AnimalHaven My husband was not a dog person. It took me over a decade after marrying him to convince him we should rescue a dog. Now, he shares his pillow with one of our dogs most nights. Dogs are amazing. They love you so much you can't help but love them back. HAISIE
