20 Furry Moms That Will Bring You a Good Mood

Mother’s Day is celebrated in more than 40 countries and it honors mothers of families and the special bond between a mother and her children. World-known animal rights organization PETA came up with the initiative of celebrating animal moms on Mother’s Day too. One of the suggested activities implies showing schoolchildren pictures of animal moms with their kids and even printing them out and placing them on greeting cards. This is supposed to give children the idea of the strong physical and emotional bond that exists between all mothers and kids in the world.

Here at Smalljoys, we got our dose of love looking at these cute animal moms with their kids. Now it’s your turn to enjoy!

1. How many puppies can you count?

2. There’s a place for every child under Mommy’s fluffy paw!
