TEWKSBURY, MA — National Love Your Pet day was Thursday and Tewksbury residents poured the love out on Facebook for their furry friends. Patch asked residents to share photos of Tewksbury pets and the cute photos poured in.

There are plenty of ways to celebrate National Love Your Pet Day including pampering your furry friend with a bath, extra treats and cuddles and making sure they're up to date on vaccines and check-ups. Since Patch can't cuddle your pets for you, we'll just enjoy these adorable photos.

We got dozens of responses, so we aren't able to share them all. See the rest of the Tewksbury pets here. Here is a selection:
