Yoshi proves, time and time again, that the best toys are frequently free, but always disgusting.

Author’s Note: Though he tried, Yoshi could not manage to get himself dirtier than he was in these photos.

This is Yoshi and his friend, Abby (basenji mix), with the most coveted of all toys, the empty water bottle.
