We all remember that one special toy from our childhood that we absolutely adored.
We cuddled with it, played endlessly, and took it with us wherever we roamed. But it turns out that we humans aren’t the only ones who form strong bonds with toys.
Animals also develop deep attachments and often require their favorite items close by – sometimes even more than we do.
In today’s tale, you’ll discover a remarkable bond shared between a puppy and its cherished toy – a Lamb Chop.
Best Friends
Niko, a Husky, is known for loving to spend time with his favorite people.
Whether it’s snuggling with his owner, Broti Gupta, or enjoying a game of fetch with his father, Niko has his schedule packed with fun activities.
Recently, however, he discovered a new companion, and in no time, they became the best of friends.
“[M]y dog is CRAZY about his Lamb Chop toy,” wrote Niko’s mom on X.
Although this pup has access to numerous toys, nothing compares to this one.
From the moment Niko encountered the plush Lamb Chop, he recognized it as the ideal companion for all his playful and snuggly moments.
“He holds it tightly all the time. He won’t roam around the house without it,” Gupta shared.

Never Apart
For Niko, it hardly matters what he or his family is engaged in; his plushie remains by his side. He proudly carries it throughout the home, and when it’s time for a nap, Niko curls up with Lamb Chop nestled under his chin.
Sadly, the only time Niko isn’t with his beloved companion is when he steps outside.
In light of that, this clever pup decided that if he can’t take Lamb Chop outside, he would ensure it was the first thing he sees upon returning home.
“He places it right by the door so it’s the first thing he sees when we return home. Does he think it’s his baby? His mother?” Gupta wrote.
However, Gupta soon realized that her dog wasn’t the only one with such a strong affection for this plush toy.
In the comments of her post, numerous pet owners showcased their dogs and their love for the very same charming plushie.
Observing all these dogs and the joy they find in their Lamb Chops filled both Gupta and Niko with happiness.
Niko’s parents were completely unaware of how significant a little stuffed animal would become for their pup, but they are undoubtedly pleased that they brought it into his life!
