PETS, no matter what kind, never fail to bring light to our lives. It’s only fitting that we spoil them once in a while after every little bit of affection they willingly provide us. As we just celebrated National Love Your Pet Day (Feb. 20), we asked pet parents of the furry kind what they admire most about their fur babies and why. For every animal lover out there, meet these seven proud fur parents and their little, big bundles of joy.
“Meet my doggo, Zimbo. The trait I love most about him is his ability to sense that all four of us in the family are talking and he tries to communicate with us as well through dog sounds.” - Sean Yu, with his rottweiler, Zimbo
“Meet Pepper! We adore how Pepper is such a cuddler! He likes to hide under your arms and legs. It’s always funny how he stares at you intensely if he wants something. He can even be the cutest guard dog ever with his small body and “scary” bark! Haha! He likes to put his tongue out and smile for the camera, too. But nothing really beats how he makes us feel after a long day from work.” - Monique Catan and Gayle Lim with their clingy chihuahua, Pepper
“The trait I love most about my doggos is that they are super cheerful! They never fail to make me happy after a bad day or calm me down after a stressful day at work. I love it when I come home and they are so excited to see me. I’ve never been happier since we got them! A dog’s love is constant and pure indeed. They make me so happy just by existing.” - Marrielle Ferrer with her bubbly babies, Sunny and Sundae Furrer
“Penny wants to be caressed when I’m lying down. She sees to it that I have my hand on her. If not, she pokes me with her paw and it makes me laugh every time.” - Krisha Socito with her loyal chihuahua, Penny
“I appreciate how my dogs are always aware whenever I’m in pain because they never fail to comfort me with their presence.” - Remedios Perez with her caring canines, Dagul and Michiko
“There are many reasons why I love my dog, Buchi. But out of the many reasons, I guess his sweetness is what makes him so adorable. Ever since I adopted Buchi, he’s been so clingy and sweet to me. I love how he always wants to have my attention and loves to play with me most of the time. I don’t know if dogs can really read people’s emotions, but every time I cry in my room, Buchi licks my face as if he’s wiping my tears. And that makes him the sweetest dog.” - Juna Bontuyan with her sweet malshipoo, Buchi
“This is my cat. Her name is Peppa. The traits I love most about my cat is the fact that she senses emotions from me and my mom. Whenever we are tired after a long day, she comes along sitting by our lap and kissing our faces. She also comes purring out loud making us feel comfort which instantly relieves our stress. I also love the fact that she’s a very friendly cat and invites neighboring felines to our house and plays with them. She even shares her space and food. Peppa is such an adorable creature indeed and I love her so much.” - Francis Garcia with his playful domestic short-haired cat, Peppa
