To My Pet,

You know the basic "come here," and "stop" (not to mention a few hundred other things I say to you). But, it's the things I didn't teach you that made me realize how special you are.

From the day you joined the family and we brought you home, you have been special to me, if not, my whole family. We thought we were getting a pet, not another family member!

You know how to cheer me up when I didn't think anything in the day could go right, and you do it almost effortlessly. Whether it be getting up immediately when I get home to say hi to me or snuggling me when you know something is off. And, you are just being you. Which is a great and wonderful thing. Oh, and the naps together. Those are great!

Little do you know, you've helped me through some awful days and have impacted my life in a great way. Heck, I've considered getting you certified as a service pet so I can bring you everywhere I go. Instead of make me happy at home, I can bring you to the places that make me happy too, and I can share those places with my best friend.

Service pet or not, I am glad to have a friend like you in my life. And, I think just telling you I love you and am thankful for you isn't enough, hence a whole article dedicated to you(even though you can't read).

I love you, pal. Thank you. You're the reason I think humans are animals' best friends. Not the other way around.
