I wanted this for my dog, but instead she chewed the toy into nothing but a scrap of cloth that eventually disappeared

Yeah this is totally fake. No self respecting dog let's a stuffed toy survive for that long
We love that our dog just bites his toys without pulling on them, he hasn't destroyed a single one of them in the 4 years he's been with us! My previous dog was a Boston-Terrier and she managed to make a hole in a horse ball...
My dog does this too. She puts a hole in the toy (using surgical precision) to get the squeaker out, then carries it around with her and cuddles with it. We call them her babies.
My Shiba is the same. He goes through a stuffed toy in a few hours of pure bliss. We got him an indestructible silicone toy and he plays with it all the time, though, and it has held up for a few months now.
Did he just casually change his eyes colour . Is that normal for dogs ?
Yes, puppy eyes often go from blue to gold between 3 and 6 weeks. The in between time can be dark like the first pic. https://blog.healthypawspetinsurance.com/will-my-puppy-have-blue-eyes-forever
That dragon sure shrunk a lot!
Awww... reminds me of my Husky, she really mellowed out in her elder years and I got a small stuffed brontosaurus toy from the shop. She treated it like a baby and would carry it around, and we'd make a game of hiding it and letting her find it.
Rest in peace Hannah 🥲
I’ll never get tired of seeing this.
I feel like your good boy and my girl could raise dinosaurs and lamb-chops together. They would be fantastic parents.
I love the markings on that dog! What breed is it?
Good Boy Great Dane
Ah that makes sense. I've only met Danes in the black and white cow coat, but I know that they exist in lots of colours.
That'd be a Harlequin. We have two Danes at the moment (black and brown, not Harlequins) and have had several. We love the breed, but they don't live as long as we'd like.
Yeah the ones I knew only lived to like 6 or 7
We had one die at seven. He was a good boi and we were heartbroken. Our PITA Dane lived till 11. She was a pain right up when we had to take her in. In the parking lot she wanted to fight rando dogs. Lol, give it up, girl. You can't hardly move!
We had one with medical issue and he died at three. He was a wonderful tempered dog and it was tragic. They are heartbreak dogs with those short lifespans, but they also are very cool dogs during their prime. We said no more Danes, but here we are again with two.
Is his name Pete?
