If you ever need proof that dog is man's best friend, look no further than Instagram page of  Reagan the labradoodle and "Little Buddy"—his family's foster child—who do everything together. Reagan was adopted by Oregon resident Sandi Swiridoff when he was just 11 months old. Swiridoff was overjoyed when the puppy—a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle—instantly hit it off with another special 11-month-old: her foster grandchild. From snuggling in bed and throwing miniature pajama parties to strolling outside and lounging by the lake, the duo does everything together—and, with their matching clothes and costumes, they do it in style. Understandably overwhelmed with cuteness, Swiridoff began documenting their heartwarming bond on her Instagram page, Reagandoodle. Now, five years later, the account has over 490,000 followers. Its popularity has also given way to an Etsy shop, where Swiridoff will be selling her still-in-progress picture book about Reagan's relationship with Little Buddy. The book is set to bring attention to the the importance of foster care, and proceeds will benefit Foster Parents' Night Out, a non-profit organization. 

Nine-year-old Gideon Kidd is on a quest to pet as many dogs as he can and has already petted over 300 cuddly canines. He began documenting this mission in 2016 on his blog I've Pet That Dog, but it wasn't until he joined Twitter that he became an internet hit with over 50K followers. On his page, Each dog is given a photo profile with their age, breed and quirky personality description. When asked by TheVice, Why did he start "I've Pet That Dog", Gideon answered: "Well, there's a couple of reasons. One, I LOVEEE dogs. Two, I wanted to see how many dogs I could get. And three, I wanted to show the public about all of the dogs. I wanted to show everybody all of the dogs in the world. I don't think I will ever do that, though". Check out some of his encounter descriptions with his adorable new friends below.

Twitter user @luciedunne_ shared on her Twitter account that her mother had recently been extremely distraught about having to put their dog down. But, she was surprised to see how much her school students really do care about her. She was especially touched by a heartwarming gesture by a sweet boy called Callum who wrote her a poem that spells out her beloved dog's name, Charlie.  

Matteo Walch, an adorable boy from Austria, struck up the remarkable friendship with the alpine marmots when he was first introduced to the animals by his nature-loving family when he was just four years old.
