Have you ever noticed that if you buy an expensive toy for your dog that they’ll destroy it in a day or two, but if you get a free one from a garage sale or some other random place, not only does it last forever, but it becomes their favorite toy?

How does that happen anyway?

Lucy has been playing non stop with her little freebie monkey for over a month now. Sure his ears and tail have been nibbled off, but Lucy plays with him non stop.

Do your dogs do this too?
