Anyone who has ever loved an animal knows that they are downright amazing. They are as unique as people and can never be replaced. Not only do they bring happiness to our lives, but they also give us unconditional love and great friendship. In short, no relationship is quite as pure as the one that exists between a pet and its owner. But sadly, our four-legged companions have a lifespan that is too short. And the only thing we can do is treasure every moment with them; they won’t be around forever!
