Dogs enjoy playing with sticks. They help them keep their teeth, train jaw muscles, and cure boredom, especially if they have a human willing to throw them. But, sometimes, they have a really hard time finding one that is the proper shape and size. This is where “stick libraries” come in.
Stick libraries work on the same principle as human libraries. Dogs take a stick they like the most, spend the day playing with it, and then return it. Best of all, there are no late fees for forgetting to return the stick, as “librarians” usually replace it with a new one.
Stick libraries have recently become quite popular. One dog owner was recently on vacation with their pupper, and the hotel they were staying in had a stick library. This allowed the dog to get a stick every morning and take it to the beach for hours of fun.
“Every beach needs a stick library!” the caption stated.
The video quickly went viral, getting 45 million views and having Instagram users sharing how much they love the idea.
“That’s gotta be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. That hotel gets 10 stars for that alone!!! That’s awesome!!!” one person commented.
“How thoughtful! Great idea,” another added.
As it turns out, the video also prompted people to consider creating stick libraries for dogs in their neighborhood.
“im going to make this for my town now thank you,” one Instagram user wrote.
“omg!!!! I need to build this in my front yard,” another shared.
