Ever since the kids were old enough to interact with animals, we've shown them how to treat animals with love and respect, which is something that I think all children should learn from a young age. Over the years they've inherited our affinity to animals, and I love it. I hope it's a trait that will follow them throughout childhood and beyond.
I was delighted when I heard the news that a Rescue Runt was on it's way to us because they looked like the ideal toys for my two little animal lovers. We didn’t know which puppy we'd be receiving and was delighted when we opened the box to discover a spaniel. There's also a husky, dalmatian and german shepard in series 1. I think we might need to adopt them all.
Rescue Runts are adorable, plush puppies, who need some TLC and a forever home. When we took our pup out the box it was evident that he needed our help, love, and care and that is just what he got from the kids. They used the grooming kit which is included, to nurture him back to health. They wiped away his tears with the small cloth, picked the fleas out of his fur with the tweezers, cleaned the mud off his paws and combed his hair out with the comb. They were in their element.
The kids also removed the bandage from his leg, perked up his ears up and made him smile. We then lovingly named him Coco, and we wrote his name on his collar. They've been taking such good care of their pup for the past couple of days, brushing his fur again when it gets messy again, recleaning his paws, and smothering him in plenty of kisses. It's great that they are able to redo this over and over.
At first glance, Rescue Runts may just look like a standard cuddly toy, but they are so much more than that. They are an engaging role play toy, one which encourages children to show compassion and empathy towards animals. What more could a parent ask for in a toy?
