What do you get when you pair a rescue dog and a cherub-faced boy? Complete and utter adorableness.
Zoey is an adorable 7 year-old mutt from Taiwan. Jasper is an adorable Chinese-Korean kid in Los Angeles. Their mom, photographer Grace Chon, takes pictures of her loves side by side in matching outfits and posts the portraits to their Tumblr, Zoey and Jasper.

There's no compression of the love there is between a loyal dog and his loving owner. As any pet parent will attest, their love is something that cannot be matched or explained. This was even more so true when Judge Judy decided to put it to the test.

At least 5 stray dogs in India have turned blue after swimming in a heavily polluted river near Navi Mumbai.

"Dog Years" is a look at the lives and stories of 30 dogs. Of 30 best and loyal friends... then and now. Photographer Amanda Jones presents each dog as a puppy and again as an older dog. Her gorgeous portraits capture each of the dogs everlasting personalities. 

These are only a few photos from her book "Dog Years" Available Here

Dogs do have the some completely irrational fears...but it's always hilarious!
