19 Photos That Prove Babies and Pets Have a Very Special Bond

Scientists believe that having pets while growing up has many benefits for children. They become more confident, compassionate, and have more trust in relationships. What is more, adopting a pet when you have a small child means that they are both guaranteed a good friend.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything found these 19 photos that prove kids and pets can be absolutely inseparable.
