Pets, especially dogs and cats, offer love without any strings attached.  They don’t judge, and they’re always there for you, ready to snuggle or sit by your side.  Their presence can be incredibly comforting, especially when you’re feeling lonely, stressed, or down.  In this way, pets become constant, non-judgmental sources of emotional support.  Being grateful for their companionship can remind you that you’re loved, no matter what.
