Rory is part Siberian husky (60%) and part German shepherd (40%). After a recent adoption, Rory’s new mom got her a special gift — a Kong Play Pack with several stuffed animal chew toys. As a rescue pup, these were her first toys ever. Rory wasn’t sure how to play with them initially, but she quickly picked it up.
Sniffing each toy from the Kong collection, she showed very little hesitation. The rescue pup selected a little monkey wearing plaid pajamas and a sleep cap for her first toy. She gingerly picked it up by an arm and proudly walked away.
Rory showed her new toy to her mom, who squeezed it and then tossed it. Rory quickly picked up the concept of fetch and jumped happily after her new toy.
Although this simple little video may not seem like much in the scheme of things, it serves as a gentle reminder. When a new pet is adopted, it may not have come from an ideal background. Acclimating a new dog to play and toys may be necessary. Such is the case with Rory, who had no comprehension of play, toys, and being treated well. Rescue agencies, fostering programs, and adoptive pet parents work steadily to place rescue pups in better homes.
Rory was so happy when she realized she now had her own toys that she was whimpering in excitement. As you watch the clip below, rejoice that Rory will have a joyful life. Although this was this rescue pup’s first toy, it won’t be her last. Pure joy radiated in selecting her first toy. Be sure to share this experience so others can enjoy it, too.
