by Jasmine Vaughn-Hall

Oh, pets. There's no simple way to explain what your pet means to you, because the feels can hardly be described in words. Their presence really just makes your life so much better, and to be able anticipate seeing them every single day is something rewarding to look forward to. That's why you'll need to pull out all of the sweet and sappy National Pet Day captions to really honor today.

Pets deserve your sweetness, sappiness, and so much more, because they never ask for anything in return — except maybe a belly rub and cuddle time. Having a pet teaches you to care for something other than yourself. And unlike the majority of things you put your effort into, you more often than not see how your efforts benefit your pet. They're your whole world, and you would seriously do anything for them.

One day doesn't hardly seem like enough to fluff your pet's feathers, fur, or scales, but you aren't missing out on an opportunity to post a cute pic of them, are you? That deep love for taking pics of them will never, ever subside, no matter how long you've had them. Let National Pet Day give you yet another chance to find one of the adorable pics ever and top it with a few of the many sweet words you could possibly say about them.
