Dear Dr. Alice,
Why does my four year old dog continue to steal my kid’s toys, the one that make noise? Sincerely, Squeak

 

Dear Squeak,
Very good question! We don’t really know but we assume it is because there is an instinctual connection with dog’s hunting small animals. But really, who knows? Sometimes if you get them their own basket of toys, they will tend to stick to their own toys. Just explain it to them one more time.
