People with pets have their camera rolls dominated by them. And for good reason. Our precious companions provide so much joy, we want to make the moments last. You're on a tiring business trip? No problem, just open up a shot of your goofball and you forget all about it, even if for a little while.
But don't just take my word for it. Take the subreddit 'Funny Animals' for example. Its moderators describe the online community as "a place where we can laugh at our non-human friends" and since its creation in 2011, it has attracted over 1.2 million members, who are constantly sharing pictures of their dogs, cats, and other creatures that make their days shine brighter.

Research shows us that our primate relatives — chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans — all produce laughter-like sounds when tickled (as well as when they're wrestling and play-chasing).
This also suggests that humor and our ability to laugh likely came from humans' and great apes' last common ancestor.
Additionally, another study discovered that chimpanzees can make silent "laugh faces" just like humans.
Dogs are also known to have a kind of panting laugh and play face that's suggestive of humor.
But as far as these pictures go, we're probably the only creatures that can appreciate them. Which makes them even more special.
