Smile like You Mean It: 7 Animals that Are Happy to See You

Let's face it: we can't all wake up on the right side of the bed all the time. Being grumpy is rarely a choice, but circumstances will sometimes make our smile turn to a frown, and that can have quite an effect on our whole day. That's why I love having a pet so much. My cat, Ariel, has seemingly magic powers: one look from her, one cuddle, or one purr in my direction will release the stress and just put me at ease. I then find myself smiling. Pets, and animals in general, really know how to turn our frowns upside down, and as it turns out, they're pretty good at breaking out a smile too. If you're having a bad day or a slow morning, all you need to do is click through these photos and before the end of it, I bet you will already be feeling better.- By Devan McGuinness
