The Puppy Insider Issue 1 - June 2016 | Page 6

This cutie to your right is Pow. He’s a French/Italian puppy who lives in Sheffield, UK. Like many pups, he has an interesting background, but now he is doing something great for his local community. Pow is the founder of The Sheffield Kinky Dawg meets. After a handful of successful meets, we thought it was time to catch up with the busy puppy and see what it is that motivates him to bring our community together in joy and happiness. How long have you been into puppy play, and what was it that sparked your interest? I've been a pup officially for just over two years, although I started out as a furry over 8 years ago. Becoming a pup meant I could express myself in a more serious way than a furry - not to mention my love for leather probably helped with this transition. How have you found yourself interacting with the local community? Are there good relationships locally? The pup scene is a bit hit and miss, it depends on where you live and how cities deal with the kink community. Generally speaking, pups and handlers are lovely people and easy to work with so I've not had trouble finding friends locally.
