Draco, a pit bull, has a favorite toy—a heart-shaped stuffed pillow with arms—and he takes it everywhere he goes.
His owner, Allie O’Cain, rescued him from a backyard breeder when he was just two weeks old.
From the start, the pillow became his comfort item. Allie shared that Draco keeps the pillow with him and sucks on it to fall asleep.
As Draco got older, he chewed through every stuffed toy except for this one. The family had to switch to rubber toys only, because anything soft didn’t last more than a few minutes.
But his heart pillow was special. He guarded it carefully, even from Willow, his best dog friend.
One day, Willow grabbed the pillow. Draco rushed to take it back, but while pulling it from her, the pillow tore open and the stuffing spilled out. Draco was heartbroken.
Allie’s mom, who witnessed the whole thing, stepped in to help. She gathered the stuffing and carefully sewed the pillow back together.
Draco stayed close the whole time, watching and whining. At one point, he even tried to grab the pillow mid-repair. Allie later posted, “He acted as if his wife was in surgery.”
Thanks to Grandma, Draco is once again reunited with his beloved pillow—and he hasn’t let it out of his sight since.
