50 Times Pets Brought Their Owners The Most Unexpected Gifts
Dogs and cats may not be able to verbally express their gratitude to us, but they do have one thing going for them - they are amazing gift-givers. Who doesn't love waking up to a freshly-killed mouse in their bed?
For both canines and felines, the 'tradition' of gathering the fruits of one's hunting expedition and presenting them to their superior runs deep in their blood. Whether they've caught a toy, a random object, or a small animal, the hunt will fill them with great pride, and by bringing their catch to you and thus sharing that pride, they communicate a sense of kinship with you. So, while you may be horrified by that dead frog your kitty just dropped on your pillow, know that it wouldn't be there if your furbaby didn't love you with all their heart.
Scroll down to see the weirdest, funniest, and sometimes scariest gifts people's pets have brought them, and vote for the ones that you would be grateful to receive.

When your dog brought it to you he/she was actually saying "Please can I keep it Mom??? Pretty Please?? I'll take really good care of it....I promise!!!! It's so cute and so sweet, I just gotta have it. Please??? My friends' Moms let them have pets of their own. PLEASE...........**sits there staring at you with the BIGGEST puppy dog eyes you have ever seen** **as you pet the little kitty** How can you tell those eyes or that soft little kitty no? You CAN'T, that is why you and your dog now own a cat. lmao

So many cats and dogs obsessed with sponges! I have never seen such a thing before. I mean, sponges are cool and all but none of my pets ever showed interest in sponges.

When we first got our geckos, cats broke in, and one gecko went missing. The window was open so we didn't know if it was in the house or outside. We moved the remaining gecko to an inaccessible room so the cats couldn't get to her. Two days later one of the cats comes running in from the patio outside with the missing gecko in her mouth. Perfectly unharmed apart from a missing tail. Both cats and geckos are alive and well today!

So many bad owners. Cats never should go outside. They kill birds or could get run over. Dogs should be kept on a leash or inside a fence.
