Habs is a sweet dog who likes his teddy bear so much. The stuffed toy originally belonged to the dog’s owner, Jacqueline Estey but Habs claimed it as his after he joined the family three years ago. Since then, Habs and his favorite toy are always together.
“Habs has always been inseparable from the bear. He likes to bring the bear all around the house,” Estey told The Dodo. “If you pick it up, he’ll follow you around until you put it back down for him.”
Recently, the toy needed a washing and throughout the big bear’s bath time, Habs never left his side.

“I have never seen him do that for anything in the wash, other than his bear,” Estey shared. “It was hilarious when I realized he was sitting there for the whole entire cycle and wasn’t moving for anything!”
It wasn’t long before Habs and his bear were reunited but the gloomy experience seemed to linger in the dog’s mind. Just after midnight, Habs had woken from sleep thinking his buddy was still in peril.
“I heard Habs scratching at the dryer door,” Estey said. “When I went in there, he was looking for his bear in the washer and dryer!”

“I walked him downstairs and showed him where his bear was, where he continued to lay down next to his bear,” Estey added. Habs slept calmly after that. “He’s such a sweet puppy.”
