Do you know if your dog enjoys playing with toys? While my cats don’t seem particularly interested in the toys we’ve offered them, my Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever absolutely adored them. She had a collection of her favorite toys in a big basket. Whenever we had guests, she would engage in a playful routine we called “Inventory,” where she would carefully bring out each toy, one by one, and place them at the visitors’ feet. Her ultimate favorite toy was a stuffed duck with a squeaker inside, which she would carry around and gently mouth whenever she felt stressed. Other stuffed toys didn’t fare as well – she would gleefully “disembowel” them on the living room rug, leaving a fluffy warning to other plushies. I can imagine her getting along famously with the Golden Retriever featured in the video below.
In the video, we witness a Golden Retriever locked in a playful battle with a stuffed octopus. Watch as they tussle together on the floor, with the toy’s long tentacles seemingly coming to life as they engulf the dog. It’s a whimsical sight, sparking debate among viewers as to who is winning this spirited match.
Stuffed animals are popular dog toys, often designed with durable stitching and safe materials. However, always ensure that your dog’s toys do not contain small parts that could pose a choking hazard. For dogs who are avid chewers, consider toys made from tough rubber or edible options like bully sticks to satisfy their chewing instincts without risking their safety.
If your dog enjoys playtime antics like Rudy the Golden Retriever, be cautious that rope, towel shreds, or toy tentacles cannot become entangled around their neck, potentially leading to a choking hazard. Rest assured, Rudy is being closely monitored in the video and is simply being his goofy self.
