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.
