National Pet Day: People Are Sharing Adorable Photos Of Furry Friends

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฐ

For many proud owners, a pet isnโ€™t just an animal, but a fully-fledged member of the family. They keep us active, are great companions and improve our physical and mental health.

We donโ€™t need an excuse to celebrate our little (or in some cases, rather large) bundles of joy, but as itโ€™s National Pet Day, we wonโ€™t pass up the opportunity either.

To mark the day, people on Twitter have been sharing fun and adorable snaps of their furry friends (plus a not-so-furry tortoise), using the hashtag #NationalPetDay. Here are a few of our favourites guaranteed to brighten your day.
