Puppy Players are individuals who participate in 'puppy play,' a form of role-play where a person adopts the mannerisms and behaviors of a puppy. This can include wearing puppy gear, playing with toys, and communicating non-verbally, often as a part of the broader pet play community. Puppy play can be a recreational, social, or therapeutic activity and is enjoyed by people for a variety of reasons, including stress relief, fun, or as part of certain communities. Participants may engage in puppy play solo or with others, at home or in organized events.
