These are stories of pure love between animals and their people that will make everyone wish they had a pet, too.

8. This cat had the flu and was sneezing incessantly all over the house. The owner would occasionally put his hands in front of her nose and clean it with a damp tissue.

9. Bruno loves sitting next to his owner whenever he plays the guitar. Sometimes, when the notes aren't coming to him properly, the owner stops to think. Bruno then gently takes his hand with his mouth and rubs it on the guitar so that the music comes back to him. After a few attempts, this usually works and gets the owner back on track to play more smoothly.

10. When Mabel the tortoise was bought into the family, this man didn't approve of her and thought the animal was gross. Just a few months later, he fell in love with the cute tortoise and couldn't get enough of her. Today, he makes Mabel sleep on the bed with him so that she doesn't catch a cold!
