They bring us joy and they leave us with heartbreak.

Our pets can be amazing, whether they’re loyal canines that hate to leave our side, felines that soothe our stress, chirpy birds that cheer us or even fish that help us relax.

The Adver wants to celebrate these wonderful creatures and we’d like you to tell our readers all about them. Could Marley and Me have been modelled on your dog? Does your cat do tricks? Is your hamster a Houdini?

Maybe your pet is a rescue and has a great back story. Perhaps it has done something heroic like given early warning of something wrong. Or maybe your pet just makes your life complete.
