My little Muffin had a stuffed doggie that I gave to her when I first got her as a puppy. She had it all of her life. It was laundered so many times and threadbare in places, but she loved it and wagged it around all of her life. We called it "Doggie" and she would often take it everywhere she went. If she ever took anything off a table that we wanted back, we would go get her "Doggie" and use it to bribe her to give it back. She would drop whatever she had instantly when she saw you had her "Doggie."
