The best silly made-up holiday to happen this week was definitely National Pet Day. Because who doesnโ€™t love pets? Even Stu Bykofsky loves them.

For most people, whether or not you have furry ones at home, pics of cute animals offer a great break from the daily grind. Thatโ€™s what we were feeling midweek, so we asked you to show us your adorable loved one on Twitter. And you responded with great creature-filled kindness.

Check out all these great best friends helping brighten the lives of Philadelphians.

Zero chance of being lonely with this motley crew.

A bit fuzzy, but contains way too much fuzzy cuteness to skip.

Helloooo, nose.

Hellooo, face!

There might not be anything more endearing than an 8-week-old German Shepherd.

Thatโ€™s one way to share a bed.

A dog that loves getting bathed? What planet is this?

What was that about curiosity?

Curiosity is safer when youโ€™re indoors.

Well played, Drexel, well played.

This is all of Phillyโ€™s dog right now.

Life. Itโ€™s grand. Go live it.
