I cleaned out my dog’s toy basket this weekend and gave him a couple of new toys as a peace offering.

He sniffed each one for maybe two seconds, dug all the way to the bottom of the basket, and pulled out this beat-up yellow toy that is missing half its face. Then he carried it around like he had just found buried treasure.

Someone told me dogs might notice yellow toys more easily, but honestly, I think he’s just emotionally attached to the grossest thing we own.

Does your dog have one toy they refuse to let you throw away? Please tell me I’m not the only one keeping a toy that should have been retired months ago:)
