My favorite toy was a pillow, I found lying on the ground. One small tear, though very clean, in the shape of a basset hound. I fell in love immediately, with it's big eyes and sad silly face. In a corner of my bed, was "Dog Dog's" special place. He helped me through the bad dreams, when night began to fall. With Dog Dog lying next to me, I had no fear at all. My mom would wash him in the sink, and hang him to drip dry. A clothespin held him out of reach, She hung him far too high. Sometimes I wondered, being eight, if I was a bit too old, to be carrying around that pillow. If I was nobody told. I had board games, a barbie doll and hot wheel cars to race. But nothing made me as happy, as putting my head on Dog Dog's face! I kept him with me through the years, then he started to fall apart. No matter how torn up he was, he always had my heart. One day I put my toys away, when a woman I became. I didn't miss the hot wheels, the barbie or the games. But Dog Dog with his stuffing gone, was all but lost to me. I put him in a plastic bag, I couldn't stand to see. My favorite toy and companion, was now beyond repair.  I have him still in plastic, boxed up in a closet somewhere. It's such a silly story, but I'll bet you have one too. About a special toy you had, that meant the world to you.
