People Are Sharing Pictures Of Their Pets Refusing To Part With Their Favorite Toys, And They’re Too Pure (40 Pics)
Some pets need their favorite toy as much as we need them. Whether it's dirty or barely holding it together, if the darn thing has become their source of comfort, they might refuse to part with it, even when their owner is stitching it, making sure it will last just a little while longer.
Dogs, for example, love to have soft and cuddly toys for comfort. These are great for catch and carry games, for the hunt and kill scenarios, and for the ease of separation anxiety if ever they have to travel to a new place.
Soft plushies are good for cats as well. Just like pups, they might be drawn to stuffed toys and even sleep with them, enjoying reassuring comfort in situations outside their comfort zone such as car travel and visiting their vet.
Bored Panda has collected a list of photos to show you just how sweet these relationships can look, so continue scrolling, upvote your favorites and enjoy.

I have one of those weird dogs who never plays with toys. But enjoyed this post and all the cuties.

Mine was the same until I found Mr Squeaky... Now I'm super anxious because I bought it while we were living abroad and I can't find another one to buy just in case.

I'm getting the impression that animals might be more likely to prefer toys that look like them. Maybe an instinct to protect as they would a sibling or child? I have a friend whose large but friendly dog destroys toys very quickly; maybe it's worth a try!
Rosie Hamilton 5 years ago
I have noticed this too... also all the anxious dogs I have known seem to prefer similar looking dogs. My Patterdale in particular is a nightmare with most dogs but another patterdale is fine. It is very interesting.
