As kids, we probably all had one toy that we couldn’t go anywhere without. But as we got older, we relied on that toy less and less. Those toys will always hold a special place in our hearts, but we no longer need them the way we used to.
That’s not how it works for dogs, though. Dogs will always be our furry children, so it’s common for them to have a lifelong toy. While most dogs destroy every toy they put their paws on, others have some special plushy they keep with them for comfort.
Nothing is cuter than the relationship between a dog and their beloved toys. So, here are 16 examples of toy-loving dogs that are sure to brighten your day!
