All dog owners are familiar with this classic canine greeting behavior when you come back home and your pet excitedly brings you its favorite toy or some other surprise. Some experts claim that the reason lies in a primal instinct that dogs have to bring food or other presents to the pack leader. Others say that this behavior provides an outlet for the extra energy dogs have and it helps them communicate with us.

We at SmallJoys have collected some very interesting treasures that dogs have brought their owners.
