Animals have a special way of making us humans happy. They provide us with companionship, love, and even laughter.

And studies have shown that interacting with animals can have positive effects on our health, both physically and mentally. One of the main reasons why people keep pets is for companionship.

Pets can provide us with the social interaction and support that we need, especially when we're feeling lonely or isolated. And this companionship can benefit our mental health in a number of ways.

For example, research has shown that people who have pets are less likely to suffer from depression than those who don't. Pets can also help to reduce stress and anxiety.

Caring for a pet can give us a sense of purpose and routine, and can help to take our minds off of our worries and concerns. Playing with or simply watching our pets can also be a great way to relax and de-stress.

And the physical contact with our pets (such as stroking them or cuddling them) can release feel-good hormones like oxytocin that can help to reduce stress levels. Animals can also provide us with some much-needed laughter and fun.

Playing with a puppy or kitten can be a great way to chase away the blues. And even just watching funny animal videos online can help to boost our mood and make us laugh.

If you're feeling down or stressed out, consider spending some time with a furry (or scaly) friend, or just take a look at the animal posts we've compiled for you today.

1. Doggo appreciates the gift

Did you know that dogs may also have a strong sense of appreciation? While we can't know for sure what goes on inside a dog's head, there's evidence to suggest that our furry friends are capable of complex emotions, including appreciation.

Dogs have been shown to respond positively to acts of kindness from their owners and others. In one study, dogs were observed wagging their tails and displaying other happy behaviors more often when they received praise from their owners after completing a task than when they received no praise at all.

10. This furball knows the best hiding spot.

There's something about boxes that just seems to speak to a cat's soul. Maybe it's the fact that they can climb in and curl up, making themselves snug and comfortable.

Or maybe it's because boxes offer a sense of security and safety - after all, when cats are inside a box, they can see everything going on around them.

Looking at pet videos can be a great way to relax and de-stress.

They can also be a fun way to keep up with what's going on in the animal world. And, of course, they're just plain cute.

Watching animals can also help to distract us from whatever is causing our stress. By focusing on the cute animals on the screen, we are able to take our minds off of our stressful thoughts and situations, providing us with much-needed relief.
