Mr Puppy dreams of adventure and wants to see the world, but he's trapped in a toy store. When other toys try to discourage his dream, he bravely follows his heart and escapes in a toy flying balloon. Outside he discovers an exciting world of fantastic cultures and amazing music!
The musical by Michael David Lee with music and lyrics by David Tolley evolved from the much-loved Mr Puppy brand of apparel and pet products. Lee, the brand's creator, says the musical is a great adventure with amazing music and dancing from around the world.
The author states, "Mr. Puppy was inspired by events in my life. Working as a photojournalist in hot spots across the world, I saw much suffering and sadness. During one of my expeditions, amidst horrific events, I began to doodle a friendly face from my past, Mr Puppy.
When I was a kid, my grandmother gave me a toy dog I named Mr. Puppy. We had great adventures and happy times together. Those doodles gave me some relief that day and a smile. They would be the inspiration for the art you see featured on products today. That happy feeling Mr. Puppy gave me was something I wanted to give and share with others. I believed Mr. Puppy could have an amazing impact on people everywhere. And he does. The emotion in Mr. Puppy's face is genuine and activates a happy feeling in people of all ages.”
