My dog, Daisy, had a favorite toy practically from the day we brought her home from the breeder: her plush hedgehog squeaky toy. As a five-week-old Beagle, the hedgehog was almost bigger than Daisy was! As she grew, eventually becoming much bigger than the hedgehog, Daisy loved chewing on the hedgehog and squeaking the squeaker, but we also often found her snuggling with it. I ended up called the toy “Friend” because he was her best friend!
Of course, Friend eventually became disgusting and needed to be replaced. Daisy did a great job of tearing Friend apart – not very friendly, right? – and his squeaker wouldn’t squeak anymore. I was also worried about Daisy swallowing some of his fluff, or even the squeaker itself, so Friend went into the garbage. I immediately went to several pet stores that sold plush dog toys to track down another Friend for her. I finally found one, and Daisy was so happy to be reunited with him!
