Spanky is a French bulldog who always felt different from other dogs. They love to climb trees, jump up on furniture, drink milk, and hang out with the neighborhood cats. In fact, they identify more as a cat than as a dog. The other dogs think Spanky is weird and make fun of them for acting that way. And even though their cat friends love and accept them, Spanky is scared to tell their humans that they've always felt like a cat.

They don’t want their humans to make fun of them like the other dogs do—or, even worse, love them any less. But with the support and encouragement of a feline friend, Spanky learns that their humans love them no matter what. They are still Spanky. "Puzzled Pup" is a heartwarming and accessible resource for families and educators of young children, offering a gentle and meaningful way to start conversations about identity, acceptance, and being true to yourself in today's world.
