18 Pets That Grew Up Together With Their Owners

When a new pet appears in a family — whether it’s a cat, dog, or anything else — it instantly becomes a new family member. And it’s great when they live a very long time with us, because after some time, it becomes impossible to imagine life without them.

“Received my cat, Chandni, for my 10th birthday. I turned 30 yesterday, so we celebrated 20 years together.”

“What a trip to be 18 with you, and yes, I did get him a tuxedo for my prom photos last year.”

“4 weeks vs. 14 years.”

“Some things never change.”

“My best friend and me, 10 years later.”

“Two photos taken 15 years apart. The first is the day we got our dog Dixie from a rescue shelter. The second is the day before she passed.”

“14 years later.”

“I never wanted a cat... Now I don’t know what life without him was.”

“You gave us 18 years.”

“My sweet old man, 17 years later.”

“Our sweet Sadie. She passed on Monday at 17 years. She was the best dog that I could have grown up with, and we spent 17 of my 18 years together.”

“1998 and 2018.”

“A picture of my cat and me 12 years apart.”

“The first and last pictures I have of myself with Callie. She was the cat who made me a cat person, and I miss her every day.”

“Almost 14 years later and he still looks like a little pup.”

“Then and now. 1996 to 2013.”

“8 weeks to 8 months.”

“My best friend for the past 15 years.”
