Our Mission
'A Pup Is NOT A Toy' is a public service initiative to coopt adults into educating kids on the appropriate treatment and handling of young puppies. Puppies, though they love to play and are amazing to play with, are not toys.
They cannot and should not be treated roughly. Puppies can be easily hurt. The one and only goal here is to help kids understand that they have to treat and respect a little puppy in just the same way they would a baby.
We go to great pains to teach kids, at a young age, precepts such as: "don't talk to strangers," "say 'please' and 'thank you'," "don't play on the road," "don't talk when your mouth is full" etc.
To that list we have to add: 'A pup is NOT a toy, be gentle and never pick up somebody else's puppy without asking an adult.'
The only and express purpose of this initiative it to instill this message in kids far and wide. Refer to 'Monty.' Our goal is to ensure that this never happens to another poor pup.
We are hoping that achieving this goal of educating kids about pups should not be too hard. If we can get parents to talk to their kids about how to appropriately deal with pups we would be succeeding in our mission. So if you could please start by talking to your kids and explaining to them that while pups should be played with, it should always be done with great care, affection and respect. A pup is NOT a toy. A pup is NOT a stuffed toy or a beach ball. If a kid drops a young pup into water assuming that the pup will float or swim that could be a big, possibly potentially fatal, mistake. The pup might immediately ingest water. A pup is not a beach ball.
We will provide resources and aids to help get this message across. One objective is to have a 'A Pup is NOT A Toy' children's book that you could read to your kids. We will also provide links to other puppy care sites and blogs.
We already have a blog as well as Facebook page up and running. There is a forum set up but it needs to be activated. Thank you for support. Please help us with this initiative. We do not want anybody else to suffer what happened to poor Monty.
