This might not be the most unusual video you will see today, but it sure is cute. Every time this dog goes for a walk, she takes her favorite stuffed toy along for the ride! Isn’t that just the sweetest?

Abby the Labrador loves taking her duck stuffed animal on a walk. She sees the leash coming, so she runs to get the ducky, then waits for the leash to come on and the door to open, so that they will both go out and see what a beautiful day it is.

Remember your first stuffed animal? Some of you probably still have it somewhere in your home, to remind you of the good old days, when all you ever cared about is not misplacing your favorite plushie, because sleep didn’t come so ease when you had to sleep alone.

If we had to give it a second guess, it might be just a brilliant training tactic for dogs who love to run around while on a walk, checking things out or staring at other dogs and forgetting about the walk. If you let your dog carry something in its mouth during walks, it will give them something to focus on, rather than pulling on the leash or towards other dogs.
