DDB Puddles Paks Provide Humane Ed for Prepubescent Pupils

'Puddles Paks' Provide Phenomenal
humane education props for prepubescent pupils

'Paks' press home issues plaguing companion puppies and prime classroom pontification



September 15, 2008, Tipton, PA—Dogs Deserve Better, a non-profit bringing pups out of backyards and into the presence of people, today made public its Humane Education 'Puddles Paks' for prepubescent pupils. (Or students in Grades 2-6 for the layperson who might not do P-speak...)

Tamira Thayne, founder and CEO of Dogs Deserve Better, states, "Our 'Puddles Paks' will provide phenomenal Humane Education props for pupils in grades 2-6 (and try saying that 3 times fast!). We've noted the absense of a plethora of humane education props for our issue, that of chaining dogs for life, and so promptly set out to produce our own peppy program!"

'Puddles Paks' consist primarily of a new paperback printed precisely for Dogs Deserve Better, Puddles on the Floor, penned by Lorena Estep and pictured by Thayne herself. They are parceled with a CD of 3 Powerpoint Presentations, one which puts forward the pictures and captions manually as presenters read to pupils, a second which autoforwards and is read by Thayne for a stand-alone performance, and a third which speaks to chaining in an age-appropriate primer. Pupils are prompted to pontificate on preferred patterns of possible pup care by the book and CD. The CD also plays Puddles as an audiobook.

Thayne continues, "We are most pleased at the perspicacity of the puppy issues presented in Puddles, including overpopulation, spay/neuter needs, misuse of caging, chaining, and problems of stray pups. The Paks combine the paperback, the CD, and other paraphernalia including DDB stickers, rescue angel temporary tattoos, DDB brochures, Buddy Unchained books, and DDB posters. We hope many humane educators, classroom teachers, and parents take advantage of these packages to promote better treatment of Man's Best Friend. The preponderance of laws limiting chained and penning of pups nationwide—3 states and over 120 communities—postulate chaining will soon be a predicament of the past. We must prepare our children on proper puppy parenting posthaste!"
