Sister bans brother from family Christmas after his kid steals her dog’s beloved toy: 'Max was visibly sad for weeks after'

It's no secret that the holidays are always chaotic, especially if you're hosting. Between juggling meal prep, keeping guests entertained, and making sure everyone doesn't argue over politics at the dinner table, it can feel like you're never going to make it through the season. But in the spirit of giving, let's not forget about the real stars of the holidays. Our pets. Whether they're begrudgingly wearing reindeer antlers for the family photo or tearing into the presents you bought specifically for them, our furry friends are a crucial part of the festivities.

If you're like me, you probably go out of your way to find the perfect holiday gift for your pet—a squeaky toy, a cozy blanket, or maybe just a giant bone. But what happens when someone decides to mess with your fur baby's holiday joy? That's exactly what happened to one woman whose brother's family "borrowed" her dog's favorite toy he's had since puppyhood. Now, with the toy still missing a year later, she's put her foot down and told them they're not welcome this Christmas. Was she right to protect her dog's happiness, or did she take things too far? Keep scrolling for the full story.
