When we brought Roy home in May 2020, any stuffed toy we gave him had a life expetency of five minutes or less. It took him no time at all to “kill” the squeaker and eviserate the poor creature. There was stuffing everywhere.

Recently, Roy’s behavior has shifted, especially with one toy, a small stuffed dinosaur that Susan and I have dubbed Max. Max has become a constant and comforting companion for Roy. It’s great to see him making new friends.
