Doggos are such fluffy little lovebugs — they love hoomans, they love animals, and they LOVE toys. To them, the world is a magical place full of opportunities to make new fluffy friends. My own dogs at home adore their feisty feline friends. My whole house is one big happy family! Sometimes I even take them on walks together.

Today, I'm here to introduce you to Hank, the golden retriever who omits an adorable aura in the pictures his kindhearted hooman uploaded. See, Hank likes walks, a lot. But he likes walks even more when he's allowed to take stuffed animals with him! So he decided that he would begin refusing to be put on a leash and leave the door without one of his trusty fuzzy friends. His hooman thought it was hilarious and of course, allowed him to take as many as he could fit in his mouth. Check it out below, and then here is a wholesome bowl of fluffy feline treats for cat experts.

    Frondswithbenefits 2 days ago My dog used to do this. After she passed, our neighbor told us he would see her go in and out of the house through the doggy door with different stuffies. She would bring one inside and emerge with a new one. 98 Reply Share ...

    Borkie Dorkie811 2 days ago My golden does this, too! We have neighbors who will wait out on their porch to see which toy he chooses each walk. 200 Reply Share justagiraffe111. 2 days ago That is so cute! Please post some photos of your golden carrying his different toys. It would be fun if you printed out 3-4 photos and gave them to your neighbors since they are fans. You could sign his autograph. They would probably get the biggest kick out of that.

    justagiraffe111. 2 days ago Hank is adorable. Bringing his friends alongmust make everybody who sees him smile. Made me smile. I love that he gets to do his "retrieving" & that has so many different friends to choose from. Good job Hank's mom for being the exact mom Hank needs & deserves. ☑ 90 Reply Share ...

    fanboy100804. 2 days ago What a precious baby! Does he wait by the door with a friend ready to go? Or do you tell him you're going for a walk and he comes back with one?

    Intrepid ChipmOnk 2 days ago It would be so much easier to keep my golden from scavenging on walks if she would carry a toy while walking. I'd be willing to pay her in treats if I didn't think she'd drop it as soon as she found a discarded burger bit on the sidewalk.

    At least once a day. He's got bells on the front door he rings to let me know when he wants to go out - I can usually tell when a friend is coming along because the bells are muffled compared to when he cleanly hits them with just his nose instead of with the friend in his mouth.
