Charlie, the golden retriever, adores Mr. Quackers. Mr. Quackers is Charlie’s plush yellow duck. Charlie brings him around because he loves him so much.

Anyone who has had a dog with a favorite stuffed toy understands how it is similar to a youngster with a favorite stuffed animal. As long as the stuffy is present, everything is OK. If Stuffy disappears, chaos ensues. Nobody takes the stuff away. Nobody loses the stuffy. Nobody messes with the stuffy.

Their stuff follows them wherever they go.

Where Charlie goes, Mr. Quackers follows.

That’s just the way things are.

The connection is real. Watch what happens when Charlie’s friend Buddy attempts to tamper with Mr. Quackers.

“There, see it!” Oh, Charlie. His devotion to Mr. Quackers is unsurpassed, so his owner decided to stage an unbelievable pet prank by dressing up as Mr. Quackers himself.

It is truly remarkable what we do for our dogs.

And when did Charlie get to meet the life-sized Mr. Quackers? So much. Joy.

Charlie almost wags his tail off his body. And he never stopped using the original Mr. Quackers—at least on TikTok.

The longer video on YouTube shows Charlie dropping Mr. Quackers and attempting to grab Huge Mr. Quackers by the neck.

@charliethegolden18 Ain’t nobody touching my Mr. Quackers 😋 #dogsoftiktok #petsoftiktok #dogs #goldenretriever ♬ original sound – Charlie The Golden

Not aggressively, but more along the lines of “Hey, let me carry you around like I do Mr. Quackers!”

The realization dawns that Huge Mr. Quackers bears a striking resemblance to his partner’s scent, making it all the more precious.

Animals can bring so much joy into our lives, especially when we take the time to play with them. Thank you, Charlie’s parents, for sharing this wonderful moment with us all.
