Sebastian the werewolf’s review:
role models: the Dearlys are kind and caring, especially Mr. Dearly. the dogs that Pongo and Missis meet are all hospitable and eager to help. Pongo and Missis have such a good nature that they cant bare leaving behind the puppies that aren’t even theirs. Pongo tries to stay calm in bad situations and has quick thinking. a boy named Tommy is generous with his toys.
you’ll learn: it shows different ways to take care of dogs and newborn puppies.
violence: a young boy throws a rock and hits Pongo.
