20 Pics of Adorable Pets That Can Soothe Your Stress Away

We can all agree that our pets are adorable. But science has provided an explanation on why these animals need to be charming — it’s because their survival depends on it. Puppies, for example, reach their peak cuteness when they are about six to eight weeks old, which is around the same time that mother dogs stop nursing them, and they need to rely on humans to feed and care for them.

Now I’ve Seen Everything gathered 20 photos of animals that prove how hard it is to resist those puppy eyes and endearing little faces, and they might give you the urge to grab your own fur ball and cuddle with them the whole day.
