A dog is an amazing creature. Besides regular exercise, proper diet and medical check up, a dog need toys. A bored dog will find a way to entertain itself. It may be chewing shoes, socks or furniture. Giving the toys to a dog will
  • Avoid boredom
  • Help to stay busy
  • Make them exercise and healthy
  • Let them relax and happy
The toys can be something to chew on like hard rubber bone or something to catch and grab such as frisbee, rope, tennis balls and stuffed animal. Babe's most favourite is rubber bone and he also plays a stuffed leopard toy. Snuggling, shaking it with his mouth and carrying around are part of Babe's behaviour on his stuffed animal.

Eventually he loves destroying the toy just like the children tearing apart of toys. He chews the rubber bone into pieces and he ripped off of that leopard's ears to pieces. But dogs aren't same as children. Dogs will be the dogs. The dogs generally have predatory instinct. They will chase, catch and kill cats, rabbits and anything that moves unless they are trained to get around with those animals while they were puppies. I could relate that Babe practicing his killing instinct by grabbing and biting the neck of stuffed leopard when he is playing with it.

The toys sometimes becomes his best friend when he fall asleep.

Have a good day!
