Poor Bit, he misses his buddy..I know how that is because my dog Winnie is the same way about her special duck, she just carries it around everywhere and recently it also died from having to be washed too many times, so I took her to the pet store to look for something to replace it with, and lo and behold, she grabbed another......duck. She wanted nothing to do with all of the other stuffed toys I showed her, but as soon as I showed her the duck she grabbed it and wouldn't let go of it. They had to scan the price from the tag hanging out of her mouth..
