Dogs are funny when it comes to toys. On one hand, they’re known for tearing up anything they can get their teeth into, but on the other hand they often get attached to one particular plaything, even something as simple as a cheap squeaky toy or old doll.
You don’t want to lose those toys. Dogs can get fixated on a very specific one that can be hard to replace if it vanishes, leaving your dog sad and you scrambling around town like Parker Posey in Best in Show:
That was the case for one dog owner who was dismayed to hear her old dog’s favorite toy was discontinued and impossible to find… until the internet rallied to track it down.
Kelli Brown adopted her rescue chihuahua Jaxon in 2014. One of his first pet toys after arriving in his new home was a green plush alligator.
For whatever reason, the dog became attached to the toy. It became known as “Greenie” and he never parted with it.
“This has just always been the only toy he’s ever played with!” Kelli told The Dodo. “We have tons of toys in the house, but he only has eyes for his Greenie.”
