"I don't want an animal under my feet!": 15 people who changed their minds and who can no longer do without their furry friends

"I don't want pets in the house, am I being clear?" A phrase that we have heard over and over from mothers, fathers and relatives who just could not bear the idea that a sweet four-legged friend could interrupt or disrupt their daily life in such an overwhelming way. The truth is that the fear of having to take care of a friend from the animal kingdom is in most cases unfounded, and do you know why? Simply because once a dog or a cat enters their lives, these people unexpectedly "change their minds": and they become unable to be separated from it even for a minute.

Don't believe it? Then take a look at these hilarious and very tender photos of people who were previously convinced that they didn't want an animal in the house, but now ...
