My Best Friend's an Animal

Owners of a chicken, jumping spider, and mother octopus share their friendship stories.

True friendship is based on how one feels within and not on proximity or aesthetics.

Nature and nurture instinctively go together when exploring close relationships among animals and their owners.

All animals need love in their own special way, even the animals that most are afraid of and wouldn’t think to go near.

Some of the most meaningful friendships are unexpected, but still more intentional than one may know.

Being different is what makes individuals unique, and these friendships are just that.
