WILMINGTON, MA — National Love Your Pet day was Thursday and Wilmington residents poured the love out on Facebook for their furry friends. Patch asked residents to share photos of Wilmington 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. Want to share yours?
