The new year is under way and it's the perfect time to bring back our old friend Team Picks. After careful consideration, our staff highlighted these user photos for one reason: to pay homage to our furriest and most adorable friends - our pets.

Our pets comfort us and give us unconditional love that goes beyond any human interaction. Even though we can't talk to each other, they speak to our hearts and understand our every emotion.

Without their trusted companions, these users wouldn't know what to do. Enter the Photomyne digital zoo and see the pets of yesteryear.
