20 Pet Pics That Prove Time Flies When We Have a Furry Best Friend

Petting a dog can reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) and being a cat person can increase your self-esteem, claim different studies. That means pets are the gift that keeps on giving and that every second with them is precious. From tiny puppies to adults, it’s certainly a joy to watch them grow alongside us.

Now I’ve Seen Everything is a sucker for animal photos, so we bring you a nostalgic compilation of side-by-side photos of pets and their owners.
