The <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\/dog-breeds\/staffordshire-bull-terrier\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Blue Staffordshire Bull Terrier;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Blue Staffordshire Bull Terrier&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Blue Staffordshire Bull Terrier<\/a> settles down with a black-and-white plush her owner calls \u201cMoo Cow,\u201d while the video explains that this is not a new habit or a passing phase. In the on-screen text, Holly\u2019s dad writes, \u201cThis is Holly &amp; she has a favourite toy.\u201d He adds, \u201cIt\u2019s the very first toy I ever gave her &amp; she goes to sleep with it every night,\u201d which establishes her attachment to the toy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Video shows dog only goes to sleep with the toy dad got her on first day<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The dog\u2019s dad labels the video as \u201cMoo Cow Origin Story,\u201d and it came after viewers apparently had questions about the toy that shows up again and again in Holly\u2019s videos. In the caption, her owner explained that he bought the plush on the way to pick her up because he \u201cdidn\u2019t want to show up empty handed.\u201d Now, Moo Cow has stayed with Holly since \u201cher first car ride home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He also confirmed it is the same favorite toy people still see today, writing, \u201cYes, it\u2019s the exact same one you see in all her videos today,\u201d adding that Holly stays \u201cvery gentle with her toys but especially this one.\u201d Moreover, it has held up well, aside from \u201ca bit of fading from being in the washing machine (gentle cycle only\u2026).\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And no, he does not keep a backup. Holly\u2019s dad wrote, \u201cNo I do not have a replacement for it,\u201d joking that he feels \u201cpretty confident it will stand the test of time for the next 50-100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, he added, \u201cWhether moo cow hand delivery is required or she hops into bed and just rests her head on it, it\u2019s with her every night.\u201d\u00a0Naturally, viewers melted over the Blue Staffy\u2019s obsession with her toy. One commenter described the toy as a \u201csurrogate litter mate\u201d that helps her feel safe at bedtime, and another admitted they wanted to be the toy, \u201clittle spooned\u201d by Holly. Five years on, the video shows that the dog\u2019s dad got her other toys, but Moo Cow remains her baby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\/news\/214841-dog-favorite-toy-once-same-size-dad-video-wholesome\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Dog Once the Same Size as Favorite Toy Refuses To Sleep Without It Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Dog Once the Same Size as Favorite Toy Refuses To Sleep Without It Now&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Dog Once the Same Size as Favorite Toy Refuses To Sleep Without It Now<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:DogTime;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;DogTime&quot;}\" class=\"link \">DogTime<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a video from Instagram user @hollythebluestaffy, a dog named Holly cherishes a toy that her dad gave her when she was tiny.
