The contrast between his strong, huge build and his sweet affection for his “baby” is melting hearts everywhere. He’s the definition of a gentle giant and a reminder that no dog is ever too tough for a cuddle session. Just watching him is making me sleepy! What a lover boy Paco is!

How To Take Care of Your Dog’s Stuffed Toys

If your dog has a favorite stuffed animal, you already know it is more than just a toy; it’s their baby. Taking care of that stuffed friend helps keep your pup happy and safe. Start by checking it regularly for loose eyes, buttons, or seams that could come apart. If you notice stuffing peeking through, grab a needle and thread and give it a quick repair before it turns into a larger mess.
Washing is also important. Tossing the toy in the laundry on a gentle cycle or hand-washing it with pet-safe soap can keep it fresh and free of germs. Just make sure you fully dry it before giving it back to your fur baby. Sometimes a stuffed animal is simply too far gone, with holes too big to fix or stuffing everywhere. In that case, it is kinder to let it go.
A smart trick is buying a duplicate if you see your pooch bonding with one toy in particular. That way, you can rotate them for cleaning or replace them without your dog realizing their baby has changed. Caring for these toys keeps playtime safe and shows your pup you understand just how much their little stuffed friend means.
