Do you still remember your favorite pillow or stuffed toy from when you were a kid?

It’s true that most kids will, at one point, get really attached to a pillow, a blanket, or a stuffed toy. In fact, they will even refuse to go anywhere if they can’t bring this item with them.

Did you know that this also applies to our dear pets too?

Meet the adorable Barley, a dog who cannot stand to be without his favorite stuffed animal.

Barley is still a puppy; in fact, he’s just over a year old. He’s really adorable and sweet and, just like any Golden Retriever, Barley loves to play.

This cute little doggo currently lives in Amsterdam with his mom Zita Butler and dad, Marc Wisselo.

He loves them and always wants to do things with them but… wait; we’re missing something very important.

You can’t meet Barley without getting to know Fluffy, too!

Wherever Barley goes, his mini-me stuffed toy goes along with him. Fluffy may be a toy but Barley can’t go anywhere without him.

Did you know that Barley and his beloved Fluffy have been together ever since his humans brought him home? They are practically inseparable!

Okay, we totally agree, it’s just too adorable, right?

“A week before Barley came home, we were in IKEA and noticed all the stuffed golden retrievers on the shelves,” Zita Butler and Marc Wisselo told their story to The Dodo. “We thought it would be fun for Barley to have a little friend … He’s totally besotted with his mini-me.”

Ever since Barley was a baby, he’s had Fluffy by his side. The stuffed animal gives him comfort and that’s why he loves his dear mini-me so much!

From cuddling Fluffy in his sleep to waking up and doing his daily activities, you can bet that Fluffy will be by his side.

“They go for walks together, they chill together, they sleep next to each other. They even pee together,” Barley’s parents said. “Often you’ll just find them both snoozing together on the couch or watching TV.”

Aren’t they lovable?

If you think they are just best buddies around the house, then think again. You might be surprised to know that this stuffed toy has already visited so many countries!

The family loves to explore and take vacations and of course, where Barley goes, Mr. Fluffy goes as well.

“Fluffy must join us on our holidays,” Butler and Wisselo shared. “So far Barley and Fluffy have explored the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. Marc built a special ‘bakfiets’ (a special Dutch bike which parents use to ferry their kids around) for Barley so that he can travel with us all around the city.”

How cool is that?

Did you know that Barley already has his own Instagram account, too? The sweet dog already boasts 136K followers!

One of their most shared posts is the photo of Barley and Fluffy wearing their cones.

The story behind this is that one day, Barley came home from getting neutered and he was feeling bummed since he was wearing the “cone.”

So his mom and dad thought of a brilliant idea and yup, that’s it.

Fluffy also had to wear the cone so Barley won’t feel alone.

“He looked so sad and we felt so bad for him that we got a cone of shame for Fluffy, too,” Barley’s parents said to The Dodo. “It definitely improved his mood.”

Good thing that both Barley and Fluffy have recovered well!

“We have two Fluffies at home in case we ever lose one,” Butler and Wisselo said in their interview.

The reason for this is because they don’t want Barley to miss Fluffy in case they have to wash and dry him.

They are planning to go and buy some more “Fluffies” soon, just in case one of them gets lost.

If you love Barley and Mr. Fluffy, then you will be overjoyed when you follow their Instagram account!
