<< I have a 2 year old BARC rescue dog who has to suck on a pillow to fall asleep. He is about 100 pounds and the bigger the pillow the better. I have tried to figure out why he does this. He was taken away from his mum at about 3 weeks. (!!!!!) >> I've had two from two different litters develop the habit of sucking on their toys and getting that "we're in la-la land" expression. Both were with their moms and littermates for at least eight weeks, so I don't think it comes from early separation. Maybe it's just a form of thumb sucking that comforts them.
