Pets do love toys and when they have their favorite ones, they don't want to leave them. A lucky boy, Marley, has recently received a full box of stuffed strawberries as his previous toy had been devastated.
But what she received, surprisingly, was a package of 20 strawberry toys wrapped in a box. Both the owner and her dog couldn't believe in their eyes, going through a rollercoaster of feelings.
This lovely story reminds us of the importance of learning to "give". Sometimes, we need to think for other people and forget our benefits, that's how happiness comes to selfless people.

Marley started being obsessed with a strawberry toy when he saw it in a store. Picking it on his own and showing it to his mom (Hayley Martin), Marley wanted to say that he loved it, needed it so bad!Source: Hayley Martin
The toy meant so much to him that the dog spent most of his time playing with it. Even when Martin met her idol, singer Kirstin Maldonado from the group Pentatonix, she bought the same strawberry for her dog hoping it would love the toy as much as Marley did.Source: Hayley Martin
But after a year of being used constantly, the toy became worn and devastated. The woman had no choice but threw it away after the strawberry was soaked and covered in mud. Marley was her best companion, so she intended to buy an alternative toy for him to replace the discontinued one.Source: Hayley Martin
A mini-survey was started on Facebook in which Martin desperately hoped to ask for a way she could find one. The post reached out to the toy store, and its manager quickly contacted the owner. When she offered to send her canine two toys, Martin was thrilled. She knew that her dog would be so happy.But what she received, surprisingly, was a package of 20 strawberry toys wrapped in a box.

“Marley was shocked,” Martin told the Dodo. “He didn’t know what to do! He was so gentle about it all but was so excited! He spent an hour going through them all giving each of them a nudge so they would squeak!”This lovely story reminds us of the importance of learning to "give".
