These 30 Adorable Animals Will Make You Wonder If They're Actually Teddy Bears

Did you know that National Teddy Bear Day is on September 9?

I didn’t either, but I’m so glad that I found out, because I’ve always loved those cuddly toys as a kid. The only thing that could have made them better for me was if they were actually alive. But, as I recently found out, real-life teddies do exist. They’re just really masquerading as other animals, as you’ll see below.

There’s really no better way to celebrate everyone’s favorite stuffed animals than by bringing you pictures of ridiculously adorable dogs and cats that look just like teddy bears. Let’s begin!

1. This little guy is so precious.
