Whether you are a dog or a kid, you probably have a few toys lying around the house! They seem to accumulate over the years until we eventually have a “toy room” full of old toys we don’t use anymore. For lots of animals, having a toy is really important for their development! The best part? They usually look super cute the entire time!
1. Now and then
Do you still have that teddy bear from when you were a kid? We sometimes keep our favorites, even as we get older. From what it looks like, this dog does too!
2. Sonic and his toy
While I can’t confirm that ALL hedgehogs should be named Sonic, I CAN confirm this one is extra cute. He has his own little toy and even seems to be taking a nap with a smile on his face!
3. Leaving your pet
Leaving your pet is one of the saddest things ever. Even if it’s just a temporary trip, you can’t explain that to your dog! They don’t understand that you’ll be back in a week; all they know is you’re leaving. Little Bonnie saw her owner packing and wanted to make sure she had a little piece of her that went with her :(
4. Snuggle buddy
After his owner changed the batteries on his toy, he immediately went to snuggle! A “snuggle buddy” is a toy that warms itself up and has a little heartbeat. For an anxious dog, it can really help!
5. Scared to death!
This dog loves to sit and look out his window while people pass by. He always has his favorite toy with him – too bad this toy is probably terrifying to people who only catch a glance! All it takes is a second look, however, before it becomes cute.
6. His “special” toy
Dogs have a bad habit of destroying the things they love! They just can’t help but chew on that squeaky toy with one arm left! Occasionally, however, they find a special one. This dog found “that toy” that he will never chew up. Why? Because it’s his friend!
7. Horsing around
Did you know that horses had toys? I didn’t! It’s pretty funny to see this beautiful horse playing with a Freddy the Fish plushy. Who would have known?
8. Toy surgery
When this cat ripped open his toy, it looked hopeless. Thankfully, Grandma went to the rescue! With a sewing kit and a staring cat, she repaired it. Hopefully, the cat will treat his friends better than he had in the past!
9. Pickles the cat
First of all, Pickles is a great name for his little guy. This photo might just be the cutest thing ever to be seen! Even better, he is protecting his favorite toy and will never let it go.
10. Admin dog
This dog, Rizzo, loves to organize her toys! While her owner has no idea why she does it, it is quite hilarious. Maybe she should pursue a career in administration!
11. Heartbreaking
When this pup’s sister died, it was really hard on him. He decided to take one of her toys, and it’s the only one he has never destroyed! Eddie carries it with him wherever he goes.
12. Toys need to eat, too
From an animal’s perspective, their toys are probably strange companions! They don’t eat or drink and just lay around all day. This cat decided that he had enough of that and was going to feed it!
13. Dino for life
After four years, this dog has gone through hundreds of toys. They were ALL destroyed over the years. It seems, however, that he has one special one. A dino. It looks like, for the first time ever, a dino survived the toy extinction!
14. Trash panda
Ever heard of a trash panda? They are more boringly known as raccoons and are hilarious. They are super smart and always get themselves into trouble. This one even has a toy – of himself!
15. Sharing is caring
When a little human boy noticed that his doggy friend was getting older, he decided he needed to do something. His solution was to give her his own toy sloth for comfort, and she loved it!
16. Smoking with the boys
This funny photo shows us an interesting spin on the classic “dog with a cigar” photo! Usually, they are taken with an English bulldog, but this one is with a Frenchie! Someone should tell him the dangers of smoking.
17. One old kitty
This cat is named Mister, and he has a favorite toy! That little ghost he is holding in his paws has been with him for a long time. Maybe having fun is the key to a long life, right?
18. No toy left behind.
The marines have a motto of “no man left behind,” which seems to be what this dog is abiding by! His mom hung them up after she cleaned them, and they needed to dry. He is gonna stay out there until they all come back inside!
19. Boozy cat
After seeing how happy this cat is after getting a “Furrball Whiskey” bottle, you might wonder if he has a problem! Look at his face! It literally looks like he is the happiest cat in the world.
20. Just wanted to catch a friend
This dog has been chasing squirrels for 13 years! As you can imagine, it was to no avail. Finally, his owner decided to get him a plush squirrel, and turns out, all he wanted to do was snuggle.
21. A few years and a nose
This transformation is awesome! From cute puppy to somber adult, this dog looks great. His toy, however, didn’t fare as well. He is noseless.
22. The same size
This little Corgi is literally the same size as his toy! This hilarious little picture almost looks like two plush animals are sitting on a couch, not that one of them is real! Corgis are basically toys themselves, so I guess it makes sense.
23. Worse for the wear
Another funny example of how the time passes. After a few years and a few good “chew sessions”, the dog is bigger and the toy is a lot dirtier. Maybe a good cleaning will do it some good.
24. Twins
We have all seen a baby with a doll before. It’s funny how we give little kids smaller versions of themselves! This little cat has a doll of its own, funny enough, it’s identical to it!
25. Oldy but goody
This cutie is pretty old! For a cat, she has had quite the life at 15.5 years old. Even after all these years, she still has her toy with her.
26. Thrifting
When this doggo came into the store, a shopper wanted a photo! After a quick command, the dog’s owner got him to do a little trick with his toy for the pic. The guy taking the photo had his day made!
27. Showing off
Whenever visitors come over, this doggo loves to show off. His favorite way to show off is to bring out his favorite toy! He is quite proud of it.
28. Cute to the point of tears
The pup’s owner took him to the pet store to pick out his OWN toy for the first time! He carried it into the car and then into the house, right until bedtime. Are you crying yet?
29. Unique toys
While EVERYONE can have a teddy bear, not everyone can have an alpaca toy! Having a unique toy is the pride of this kitty. She must show all her friends how special her toy is!
30. Bath time
All things inevitably need a bath. The time finally came for this doggos toys to get cleaned and go into the wash. You can REALLY see the concern in his little face!
31. Movie and a date
A movie and a date is the most classic of the “date options” among humans. This photo might show that cats like that too! Cuddled up with her favorite movie (The Aristocats) and her favorite toy, she is all set.
32. 7 years worth of toys
Buying toys for 7 years is quite an expensive ordeal! This dog went through them like a knife through butter until she finally found one she loved enough not to destroy – her dragon.
33. Happy cat
For a cat who lives with humans, having a friend who looks like you is really important. This sweet cat, Charlie, has a friend that looks enough like him to make him happy.
34. Friend for the trip
This hilarious pup always goes potty in the morning in the same spot. Funny enough, he always takes a friend with him to do his business! I guess he just wants to feel a bit more secure while he is “exposed.”
35. Molly and her toy
A bit of comfort goes a long way. Little Molly here has a friend that she loves to snuggle with. Dogs can easily remind us of little toddlers, can’t they?
36. Rescue dog
Frank is a rescue dog that never had toys before. He is finally learning how to play after 6 years and is having a great time! His favorite are the plush ones.
37. That special someone
It looks like there is a trend developing! Dogs that love to chew toys up eventually find one they really love and take care of it. Maybe it just takes time for dogs to mature from chewing to cuddling!
38. Generosity goes a long way
Every day, this pup waits for her dad to get home. Without fail, she waits with a toy in her mouth for him. If that isn’t love, I don’t know what is!
39. Gained some weight, never lost a friend
Little Dobby here has gained 12 pounds over the last year! From kitten to full-grown cat, she has gained a lot. She won’t ever lose her favorite toy, however!
40. Toy promotion
This cute dog has a favorite toy that looks just like her! Whenever she has a visitor, she always brings over her toy to show the guest. She would make a good toy salesman!
41. Dogpile
Brody here has hidden himself in a pile of his favorite toys! You almost can’t tell the difference between him and the other toys he is surrounded by. Just looking at all those toys has made him sleepy, it seems.

42. Dog in a hat
We’ve all heard of Cat in the Hat. What we HAVEN’T heard of is Dog in the Hat. Not as catchy, is it? Regardless, he is still adorable.

43. In the arms of a bear
A bear-hug is one of those special types of hugs that wraps you all up! They are awesome and the perfect remedy to a bad day. Little Simba here looks like he had a bad day. Thankfully he is getting a literal bear hug.
