17 Photos Proving That Pets Have Very Kind Hearts

According to recent studies, dogs are able to experience complex emotions, such as fear and grief, and they can sympathize with people. Pet owners don’t need any proof because they already know that their pets have incredibly big and kind hearts. And here are 18 photos with really moving stories to prove it.

After looking at these pictures, we at CHEERY love pets and care about them even more than before.

“Toast comforting Mayo while she’s sick.”

“This is Daisy and Luna. Daisy doesn’t like car rides, so Luna comforts her until they both fall asleep.”

“My dog Woods loves chickens and has raised many clutches over the years.”

“He wasn’t feeling well and everyone wanted to help.”

“My girl Maggie — This dog helped me deal with a lot of pain & heartache recently.”

“My cat was found in my garden when he was 2 weeks old. He is now taking care of the other kittens who come into here.”

“I just had surgery and this girl has been right by my side since I got home.”

“My cat helps me with my post-traumatic stress disorder and flashbacks. She’s blind and has separation anxiety. I just had a panic attack and she curled up next to me immediately.”

“Pancho and Biscuit help me relax after a 12-hour shift as critical care cardiac RN. Rescue mutts are amazing.”

“Rescued fawn and house cat. My aunt has a license to rescue fawns and asks me to come help. This little one was found in the woods.”

“Rescue dog helped rescue a weak butterfly.”

“This beautiful monarch butterfly was sitting in the middle of the trail too weak to fly. My rescue dog Chance went to console him. Surprisingly, this butterfly sat on the palm of my right hand while I walked 3 miles home. He perched on a sponge with some sugar syrup for several hours before he flew away.”

“Digby being protective of Newt. So much noise outside with those fireworks. When she gets nervous and whimpers or shakes, he licks her head.”

“I’ve been in hospital, so now she’s even more protective.”

“Loki wakes me up whenever I start wheezing in my chest, but before it becomes too much for me to handle. The one time I ignored her and pushed her away because I was exhausted, I nearly passed out because I couldn’t get my inhalers in time. I’ve always listened to her since!”

“My big girl is taking care of our foster puppy post-surgery. They just met.”

“My cat taking care of a baby squirrel that came up to me and followed me inside.”

“My girlfriend was in the hospital last night and her service dog decided the floor was just too far away.”

“This is Tikki. She saved her sister’s life the other day and I’m so grateful.”

“My other kitty, Belle had a mini stroke. Tikki was very vocal, moreso than usual, and kept running into the back bedroom until I followed her. That’s when I found Belle curled up in front of the litter box unable to move. Vet said I could have lost Belle had it not been for Tikki.”
