Sometimes our pets love their toys as much as we love our pets. Even if they’re old, worn out, or already falling apart, some dogs and cats stand by their plush friends forever. Some even sleep with them, feed them using their snacks, and take them for trips. And they wait patiently for the washing machine to finish, when their toys are “taking a bath.”

Here at Bright Side we adore pets, so here’s a compilation of photos that show how adorable the pet-toy relationship can be.
