Humans aren’t the only ones who get attached to their possessions – just ask anyone who’s tried to take away their pet’s favorite toy.
From stuffed animals to tennis balls, our furry friends find comfort and companionship in the things they play with. Some love their toys so much that they’ll never let them go, no matter how many years have passed. Meet 15 affectionate animals who won’t go anywhere without their toy BFFs!

5. “For 13 years, he has tried to catch a squirrel to no avail. I just bought him a plush one and the poor deprived dog has been carrying it around with him everywhere ALL DAY and snuggling with it. Sorry it took me so long, buddy.”
6. “Today was the first day he’s ever picked out his toy at the pet store. He carried it to the car, into the house, and right into his crate at bedtime. My heart.”
