30 Adorable Moments Of Kids Not Realizing Their Pets Aren’t Human

On the other hand, there are people who treat their pets too much like humans and forget that this isn't healthy either - other animals have different dietary, physical, social etc needs than humans and also will never have the full picture of what living in human society means and requires (for this reason, it's *kindness* if your dog thinks of you as the boss - let them be safe in the knowledge that they don't have to understand all the confusing human rules because *you* deal with that and they can stick to the dog stuff).

Well he wasn't wrong :)

That is so sweet :)

Please clean his eye grebs he'll be so much more comfortable

I always said that our miniature dachshund and I looked very alike because it just felt that way to me.

...And that's how she found out her brother was adopted.

he's family

This is precious. Who wouldn't want to be friends with 3 year old Christopher?

Well maybe “who” with a specific dog and “which” with generic dogs?

Mine has a brother and it's a cat (a void, to be precise). Sometimes we speak to him the way Samantha ("Sam") Star speaks to her brother Patrick Star. Those of you who know SpongeBob will understand :D

True

My childhood pets were ALWAYS included in my “my family” drawings!

OMG, I know a cat named Stanley. TBH, he's a bit of an Ahole though.

I found out I was adopted when I was 7. According to my mom, I had zero issues with the discovery, and told her “oh, you and Daddy adopted me, just like you and Daddy adopted Split?” …Split was my childhood dog XD

What is a HOV lane?

My daughter golden retriever lived to be 17. I was more sad about her leaving me then anyone else before or since

All the more reason that they need to go to school.

Poor dog was thinking, What am I , a cat?

OP must not be as floofy.

I have been in the “animals are family” tribe for my entire life! XD

Yep, sounds about right!

My childhood dog and I were only a year apart in age! XD I used to tell everyone I met that I had a big sister who was 6 years older (THAT one is human) and a little sister a year younger… meaning the dog!

He just didn't want to.

All children deserve to grow up with non-human animal siblings. : ) It provides the human child with a family member who won't put up with too much sh*t but is never unkind or critical, always happy to see them, never too busy or distracted to play, always eager and willing to comfort or explore new things, and is the perfect snuggle partner; in other words, the perfect sibling!

toddlers be like:

My German Shepherd was best friend, child, and sister all at once. I still miss her. She was my heart.

I think my new baby (a chihuahua) needs a little sister but my husband disagrees.

and her big brother will have her back for her whole life <3

I wonder which one is his favorite?

Wait, which of these four are the cats? ;)

As he should

Yeah our corgi is my 8 year old's sister according to him. They definitely fight like siblings some times. She waits until he gets home after school and then goes in his room and steals socks or his bakugans to mess with him.

Yes! Not to get too deep, but children believe the world we give them is 'normal' (for better or worse)

My daughter (she was about 3yrs at the time) met a macaw once that could say hello. When it says "hello" she replies "hello, my name's Bella. What's yours?" Hahaha it blew her little mind and she tried to strike up a full conversation with the bird. It was very sweet

Sooo... they have a pet Nana?
