THE COUCH — Did you have a special stuffed animal growing up?
My favorite teddy bear was a rainbow bear named Peef Bear. He was so cute and even had a Christmas book about him. I found the bear a few years ago at my parents' house, and it brought back a lot of nice memories of being a kid.
Good news! If you still have a favorite stuffed animal, you're not alone! Even some pets have found a plush soul mate, as this video proves.

Teddy, a golden retriever in South Carolina, was caught on camera cuddling with his favorite stuffed animal while his owner was eating breakfast. Teddy lifts what appears to be a sloth toy up in the air and then brings it down to boop it with his nose. It's a very sweet, gentle moment.
Unfortunately, not all pet and stuffed animal interactions turn out so well for the toy. My family's dog was notorious for being a little too rough with stuffed animals, resulting in the loss of many favorite plush toys. My two cats, on the other hand, have yet to destroy a plush toy, but they love to throw them around the house and carry them around in their mouths.
