Swipe right on one of these furry friends this Valentine’s Day

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story included a photo that labeled the wrong dog “Dakota” and omitted the other dog. The photo has been replaced to feature both dogs, Red and Dakota. The Talisman regrets the error. 

Let’s be real, nothing is better than the relationship a human has with their pet. The endless love and affection you can receive from your furry, or scaley, friend is worth more than words could describe.

So for Valentine’s Day this year, think about making your valentine not a human but a lifelong companion instead.
