I have a lot of great memories from growing up, but the ones that shine the brightest definitely revolve around our family dog. I love flipping through our old photo albums and remembering all the fun times.
The kids in the photos with their BFF pups below will definitely have that to look forward to, as well!
It's impossible to deny the bond between each pooch and youngster. I'm so glad their parents were able to capture the adorable moments on camera. It honestly reminds me of my own phone, which is filled with countless pics of my little nephew and his two dog besties.
Scroll through to see some of the absolute-cutest (and sometimes funniest) examples that parents have posted on the internet!
Do you have any photos of your kids or grandkids hanging out with their favorite doggy buddies that can top the kiddos below?

1. Get Along, (Not So) Lil' Doggies
I love how you can tell he was giving the pup a pat on the head for being such a good horsey.
2. Baby's First Guardian
You may not approach this dog's little human unless permission has been granted beforehand.
3. Free Smooches
No question there's a lot of love between this precious pair.
4. Sharing Is Caring
I have a feeling the dog asks for the situation to be reversed when lunch time rolls around.
5. High Tolerance
She's clearly the only one who could get away with this level of snuggles.
6. Love At First Sight
This fluffy pup is definitely going to be pampered by his new best buddy.
7. Even Match
This goldie could probably win the tug-of-war if he wasn't so distracted by how much fun the little guy is having.
8. First Responder
This lucky little dude is definitely growing up with the sweetest comfort anytime his pup hears him make a peep.
9. Little Spoon
I'm pretty sure she could take a ride on this big fella if she wanted to — and according to the Reddit user who shared it, the pup is only 7 months old!
10. Holding On
The pooch can't even really see through the window, but she still won't leave her human's side.
11. Head Over Paws In Love
Have you ever seen a pup look at someone with such complete adoration before?
12. Tenacious Trio
It looks like they'd all like to have a serious discussion about renegotiating the menu at snack time.
13. On The Same Level
This little girl really makes her BFF melt into a puddle.
14. Doggy Doctors
A double dose of the best cure for any kid at home on a sick day.
15. Keeping Watch
Those ears keep the both of them alert of any suspicious squirrel activity.
16. Avalanche Of Love
This Great Pyrenees looks like a polar bear but is as gentle as a lamb with this little guy.
17. Sweet Dreamers
Who needs a stuffed animal when you have the real thing ready to share his bed with you?
18. Instant Besties
Friends from first slurp.
19. Cozy Car Ride
This is such an adorable moment, but the Reddit user who uploaded the photo made it even cuter when they explained how the family had just adopted the sweet girl 20 minutes before this photo was taken!
