Aww. This sweet girl doesn’t seem to understand that the mouse was never going to get away.

She’s just pleased she caught it and can deliver it to her people.

Sometimes you’ve got to just take the compliment.

This pup almost looks like she’s smiling while taking a nap on her favorite plush toy.

While her dreams might involve getting rowdy, she looks so peaceful.

If only they made pillows that comforting for humans!

We’re not sure if this is a baby pacifier (which isn’t recommended for dogs) or a special dog-friendly toy, but this little one looks pleased as punch with it.

There’s nothing like going for a nice brisk walk with the thing that gives you comfort.

Oh my goodness, how cute is this little girl?

Her toy is bigger than she is, but what she lacks in body size she makes up for in ears (and probably personality).

She looks unbothered by the size difference.

While not a pet, we just couldn’t resist this seal photo.

The sweet creature immediately grew attached to its mini mi, even giving it a piggyback ride.

It’s too cute!

A three-eyed monster? Dogs don’t care! They decide what they love and they love it with their whole hearts.

If dogs could smile, we’d insist this one was mugging for the camera with its plush pal.

This kitty is melting our hearts with its little tomato(?) toy.

Kitties will rest their heads on things that bring them comfort, even if it doesn’t look entirely comfortable.

Don’t you wish humans had that kind of luck falling asleep?

This adorable rescue dog needs a water treadmill to get safe exercise without straining muscles.

And to bring him some comfort, he brought a pal with him into the water.

They’re getting it done together too. Maybe we need a workout buddy!

We doubt this kitty is on the phone to Bananatown, but he is having some sweet dreams.

Well, he’s a kitty, so he’s probably dreaming of murder. But he still looks cute while doing it.

This toy is funny on its own, but it’s downright charming when being held by this fluffy friend.

The pup looks like it’s posing for its photo – and showing off the fancy pickle to boot.

This dear doggie looks like she’s a little worried about someone grabbing her toy.

Or maybe she’s just giving the side-eye because she doesn’t love being photographed.

Either way, we’re glad this moment got captured.

We’re not sure if it’s a sign of affection or they try to lick things into submission, but we normally take it as a compliment when a cat gives us a “bath.”

It looks like this cat is freshening up her new friend for a romp around the house.

If you thought Baby Yoda was cute, clearly you haven’t seen him next to a dog. That makes him 1000x cuter!

We love how she’s cuddling her toy while she nods off.

This seems like a bad idea (and not terribly good for the washing machine either).

We hope at least one toy was left out for this pup to play with.

Otherwise, we know where it’s going to be hanging out for the next hour!

Is this just a head or a whole toy?

It hardly matters because this doggo loves her toy just how it is.

Do you think she positioned it there to do the double stare?

We’re not sure if Hank really loves her hat or if she’s just screamy, but she sure does take an adorable photo!

You’re never getting a real cat to wear a hat, but they will practice murdering it, so it counts as a toy.

Yes, we know it looks dangerous, but no one dropped anything or got hurt, so we can all just enjoy the photo without thinking of the worst-case scenario.

This doggo was so stoked for its new toy that when it saw a fellow canine on the road, it showed its plushy off.

Adorable!

It’s always a challenge when you’re ready for bed and your pet is not. Good luck with that!

This sweet pup just wants a little more playtime with her mom and her favorite toy. And her face says “is that so much to ask?”

How could you sleep after saying no?!

She’s not an eviscerator, she’s just a mouther.

That means you get nice, slobbery toys that you never want to touch but your dog loves.

There are definitely worse things to deal with.

Does this dog love his doppelganger or is he suspicious of it?

We’ll never know if he was asked to pose – but if he didn’t like it, chances are he would simply get up and move.

So maybe Ace is making that face because someone rudely disturbed his nap.

Big plush toys are every young creature’s dream, human or animal. Who didn’t want a life-sized teddy bear as a kid just for fun?

This pup is living the dream with his giant toy. In fact, it doubles as a bed.

What more could you ask for?!

Dogs and their toys age at different rates. Toys that get lots of love sometimes end up looking a little worse for the wear.

This guy is losing his face, but his best bud doesn’t seem to mind.

If you end up saying the name of this toy correctly then you did better than we did.

And don’t worry, this dog has two eyes. One of them is just obscured by the buttmunch. We mean Mutt Bunch!

Aww, this kitten loves her fishy. And by love we mean she probably bunny kicks it 200 times a day. But who are we to judge the love between a master predator and its stuffed prey?

And as you can see, she’s equally capable of giving it some snuggles.

Most dogs we know rip open squeaky toys and tear out the plastic.

But could it be because they’re trying to help when they hear a distress signal like this pup?

Or do they just want to tear something apart?

Look at these two just staring off into the sun together.

Doesn’t it just make you want to call your bestie?

Or at least go find a stuffed bestie that you don’t have to call?

How many times have we just laid on the couch with a donut hanging out of our mouths?

Ok, none – but this pup is still living our dream.

And he has our taste in treats too.

This kitty looks like he’s out in the wild and caught a fish while camping only to befriend it instead of eating it.

Sounds like a Disney movie!

We think the tent is inside the house and he just wants to be left alone so he can kick his toy.

Can you believe this beautiful kitten was found in a trash can?!

It’s so unfair.

But now she’s living the good life with a human who loves her and gives her her favorite wine – or at least a plush wine bottle.

We tend to like our wines with a little more structure, but we’re not judging.

Actually, this little pup is anything but shy about its big, fluffy toy.

It looks like it’s ready for playtime and wondering why mom or dad is holding that camera instead of having some fun.

We don’t tend to need emotional support while taking a bath, but plenty of pets don’t love getting clean.

And what’s the harm in having a friend nearby? In fact, they might need a bit of a soapy dunk as well!

We can’t be sure what this feline is feeling, but the sweet dreams seem to involve that fishing pole.

Dreaming of a swim or a place perched above a pond?

Look at this friendly face! What a cutie.

Not only are we totally on board with this pup driver, but we love watching him have fun while getting his photo snapped.

We’re not sure what this little toy is. An owl?

Oh well, it doesn’t matter because this still has to be the cutest cuddle photo ever. Look at that kitty face!

Ash is never letting his toy go.

You can try to take it, but you’re going to have to get through those paws.

And good luck with that!

We don’t know how Donald Duck feels about cats, but we know this feline found a forever friend in his likeness.

And we’re pretty sure this kitty doesn’t plan to let him go anytime soon.

That’s what being a cuddle buddy is all about.

From the comments, it sounds like this pup is part of a doggie toy subscription service.

And this cute toy was a hit among other canine cuties as well.

We can see why too – it’s just the right size!

We love to see big dogs with their completely random toys. They seem to love that woven material so much for some reason.

You’d think they had some kind of true friendship with these objects.

But maybe it’s enough to know that something can stand up to your gnawing.

Oscar has no idea what color his toy is and he doesn’t care.

And he’s having a grand old time swatting at it and charming his parents at the same time.

How cute is this doggo with her little tire toy?

It’s like she created the perfect frame for herself so we could all enjoy the best photo.

And we are enjoing it!

Sometimes you can’t pick a favorite.

This pup looks like it refuses to make the choice and wants to keep all his buds around, especially for nap time.

They make a pretty cozy spot to sleep, that’s for sure!

Cats seem to love anything they can scratch at or destroy. So why not get a toy that also looks cute in your home?

Cactus cat is pleased with his owner’s choices.

Alligator? Crocodile?

It doesn’t’ matter because this is Zuri’s favorite toy and she’s gonna love it no matter what.

Just look at that face!

Is that an ear of corn?

Who knows, but we bet this foster family finally found something for their dog to play with that wouldn’t also be disemboweled.

It certainly doesn’t have spikes, so we’re not worried about the dog laying on this toy.

We just hope she doesn’t meat a real cactus something that she decides to become friends with.

Another donut toy to make us hungry!

This pup has the right idea about letting that donut hang off its nose.

Then it’s right there any time you need a bite!

We admire this cat’s confidence and ability to sit still and commune with the toy.

No one is taking it from her and she looks like she’s receiving a psychic reading.

Can we pay her to tell us our fortune?

Ah yes, the infamous catnip toy.

It’s all fun and games until the catnip kicks in.

Then it’s all fun and murder.

Aww. This pup just wants someone to help him play with his platypus!

We’d give it a few throws for fun.

He looks so hopeful!

We love how serious dogs can look with the silliest toys.

This dog looks like he’s thinking deep thoughts along with his plush toy.

We’ll just assume that’s what happens here.
