Good question! It's one of those times where it would be neat if you could talk to your dog and they answered. Dogs, just like people, can get favorites without any real rhyme or reason to it. However, if you're trying to bond a bit more closely to Oscar, offering a favorite treat every time you spend time together, or playing with a favorite toy may help get him a little closer to you.
