Anyone who grew up with the iconic Charlie Brown comic strips and films remembers the iconic cast of characters. From Charlie himself to Lucy, to Woodstock, Snoopy, and beyond, the characters built in the world created by Charles M. Schulz
In the case of this cutie Golden Retriever puppy, he is the spitting image of one adorable character in particular.
Aptly named Linus, just like Linus van Pelt from Peanuts, this little pup is totally attached to his blankie. And yes, he is just as cute (if not cuter).
In the video shared on social media, Linus can be seen romping around his yard in the fall with his favorite blanket. Just like the character, the two are never far from each other.
Why Do Dogs Have Favorite Toys?
Every dog owner has seen it. While they may shower their pup with dozens of toys and goodies, they’ll always have a go-to favorite no matter how many new things cross their proverbial desk. At the end of the day, the favorite toy or item of a dog is a cute habit. But there is actual science and biology behind it, too!
Dogs are descendants of natural predators, and because of this, they still retain some semblance of hunting and predatory instincts. Different toys and items will trigger that response in dogs, making them gravitate towards those things again and again. Be it a squeaker or something that feels good to tug and pull, awakening that natural drive is very fun and exciting to a dog.
Many dogs, though, grow attached to certain things because the item brings them a sense of emotional stability and comfort. If you find your dog loving the same blanket, or something like your clothes or socks, they’re likely finding comfort from the item, and it helps them feel safe and secure.
Knowing all of this, next time your dog offers up their favorite toy or thing to share, take it as a huge compliment! Just like Linus (the cartoon and the pup) and his blanket, it’s a big gesture and shows just how much they love you.
