Family Adopted A Dog And Gave Him A Blanket, Now He Doesn't Go Anywhere Without It
Myko is the kind of dog people remember the second they meet him. Adopted as a tiny pup, he quickly became the family member everyone watched a little more closely, because his big feelings came with a lot of big fears.
His mom, Elena, describes him as deeply empathetic, which seems to explain why he reacts so strongly to things like water, ceiling fans, loud noises, and fireworks. The family has spent years figuring out what helps when his anxiety flares up, and one blue blanket turned out to be the thing he trusted most. Read on.
Adorable Myko and his security blanket. It's even cuter that he's wearing it as a hood!
There's also quite a story behind Myko's blue blankie. The blanket used to belong to the family. It was one of their throws that they kept in the living room.
They noticed that Myko seemed to favor this particular blue blanket. Despite owning many toys and other blankets, he kept going back to this one.
He grabbed it from the sofa, and then Myko would drag it with him around the house.
Myko's family believes that their dog liked the blanket because it smelled like them. Their familiar scent probably soothed the rescue dog's nerves.
That's how Myko ended up adopting his very own security blue blankie!
No matter what scary thing is happening around Myko, he knows he will always be safe as long as he has his family and blue blankie with him.

Now, Myko knows the command "blue blankie."
He understands that when his parents say this phrase, he will be covered or tucked in his favorite blanket, or sometimes he will go get it and take it with him everywhere.
How adorable is Myko?
That blanket is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Myko’s attachment feels similar to the abandoned train-station dog found with a suitcase of belongings.
Here is Myko caped in his comfortable blue blankie
Myko used to only grab his favorite blanket whenever he was scared or anxious. Now, he practically brings it everywhere.
He walks around the house carrying it, lays it near him, and sometimes he wants it draped around him for maximum protection.
Of course he brings it to the kitchen, why would you think he wouldn't?
Myko even brings the blanket to the kitchen or waits by the door when he wants to go potty.
He has his blanket with him even when he's just staring out the window and looking at the pretty birds.
This sneaky pupper also tries to carry his blanket with him when he goes for walks!
Even the kitchen is no exception.
Look at Myko surrounded by his favorite things, they all look so comfy
When Myko has to sleep away from his family, they pack him his blue blankie. It reassures him that he's safe, and no matter what, he'll be okay.
