Spot
Is he a cat or is he a dog? Either way, Spot, our pup-playing cheetah is fast - and bouncy! Spot is a kitty into puppy play, and is often found on their knees barking and howling. Anyone can be dog, and sometimes you just have to be ‘dog’ to take a break from being ‘cat’. He also shows you that disabilities are not a drawback, in this case it has helped Spot stay in the fast lane and be proud of who you are.’
Puppy Play is a very common sub-community under the anthro umbrella, it is for those that take the animal instinct to mental head-space, often with specially designed puppy play hoods, paws and tails, they will often be found on all fours, barking at you for a treat or a well-deserved belly rub! Spot is ready and waiting to show you that anyone can be a pup, no matter what species, body shape, gender, sexual orientation you have.
Inclusion
Puppy Play is often a hidden side to many furries, and unfortunately due to the way the world unfairly perceives pup play, it is often not permitted at mainstream furry conventions and furry meets in the UK, due to venue restrictions and other factors, leaving event organisers having to make difficult and heart-breaking decisions on our community representations. We have taken the baton on this and our venue is welcoming of all pups, no matter size, age, colour of hood or species, and creating the first UK furry convention that welcomes pup play in all parts of our amazing venue.
