For the vast majority of pet owners, there is no doubt that sharing their life with a furry friend is a joy. Many of us, however, are ignorant of the physical and emotional health benefits that can come with cuddling up with a furry companion.

This link between humans and animals has only recently been studied from a scientific perspective.

It's no surprise that pets have evolved to be quite perceptive about human behavior and emotions. Dogs, for example, are smart enough to grasp many of the words we utter, but they are far more adept at reading our tone of voice, body language, and the gestures we make.

And, just like any good human buddy, a devoted dog will look into your eyes to measure your emotional condition and attempt to comprehend what you're thinking and feeling at that moment. They are eager to figure out your mood for the day, the next walk, or treat that might be coming their way.

Are you having a bad day or are you down for no apparent reason? We're here to save you with a dose of animal love.

Adorable animals are a great source of serotonin. So to help you feel better, we've compiled 15 of the most adorable images and videos of animals. Sit down, relax and enjoy!
