Animal lovers on Cape Cod have begun creating what are being called "dog stick libraries" for their dogs' favorite toy.

Have animal lovers taken the "little free library" concept a little too far? We think not. We have seen these community boxes for books, puzzles and even for food, but now dogs can share their tried-and-true toy, the stick.

Deirde Waxman of Mashpee was on a leisurely stroll around her neighborhood when she came across this and took right to a local Facebook group page to share her excitement.

Many suggested adding some "poop bags" or dog treats to round out this community effort, otherwise it's a big silly. I can't say I don't disagree, but isn't the reason many of us having animals the companionship and the smiles? I don't think these stick libraries are harming anyone.

Holly Tonero of Cape Cod says, "There is one in Barnstable too, not sure where but it is the new rage, popping up everywhere."
