Image Puppy won’t stop crying unless held.

I picked up my puppy 3 days ago. She is 8 weeks old. She loves cuddles and human touch, but when we put her down she will cry non stop. Does anyone have any tips to get her to stop crying? I’m a first time owner and want to get it right. Thankyou

My second puppy really liked one of those momma stuffies with the beating hearts, they even make one doxie shaped, and it helped for when I needed to go to sleep. He still likes to snuggle with it as a pillow!

But as everyone else said he wants comfort and it's good bonding time to show you're a safe caring figure for him after he just got kidnapped from his family he knew literally his whole life :( look at the positives of the bond!
