"For Lucca Baila's third birthday, his mother, Morgan, knew that he didn't want balloons or cake or streamers. He wanted Lamb Chop, a stuffed-animal version of the white-and-red puppet from a popular 1960s TV show, and he wanted lots of them."
"After witnessing my sister's dog's dedication to the toy, I spoke with more than 10 dog owners, all of whom were quick to send me pictures, videos, and anecdotes about their own dogs' seemingly inexplicable Lamby love."
"This adoration is also a common subject on social media. 'Why is no one talking about the dog cult?' the content creator Meredith Lynch asks her followers in a TikTok video before pointing to an image of Lamb Chop. 'And this is their leader.'"
"One person told me she routinely finds Lamb Chops that her dog has stolen from other dogs' homes. Another said that her labradoodle has three Lamb Chops but shows particular fondness for the original one, which she's had for more than five years."
