At the heart of any big stuffed animal, is its propensity to love unconditionally; it will be there to listen in times of trouble, it will join in in adventures great and small, and it will share in both triumphs and disaster. As most children and adults have figured out, big stuffed animals are much more than just soft toys but rather, companions that fill a specific need when nothing else can. Sometimes it's nice to be able to completely let your guard down and be not be judged for who you are.
