Happy National Pet Day, everyone! Yes, that's an actual holiday, created in 2006 to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives and to heighten awareness of animal rescue and adoption. We'll forgive you for not sending a card. And, to mark the occasion, StarTrek.com thought we'd share GIFs of some of our favorite Trek pets, including Spot, Porthos, Dr. Phlox's Pyrithian Bat and, of course, Spock's Sehlat, I-Chaya.

Again, happy National Pet Day and give your pet a hug for us.
