Why does my dog cry when he carries his favorite toy? General Dog Discussions
My 8 year old Am Staff / Lab mix got a squeaky plastic monkey from a family member for Christmas. We expected it to last 5 minutes before being torn to shreds. Instead he carries it everywhere. He licks it sometimes but never chews on it. Occasionally pushes down on it gently to make it squeak. It's adorable but a little perplexing. Especially when he walks around the room carrying it and making a high pitched whining sound. At first we were worried he was scared, but that doesn't seem to be it. Does anyone else have a dog that does something like this?
