These eight programs are part of the 11 episode Sooper Puppy series. Baxter, aka Sooper Puppy, created by talented writer and puppeteer Brian Narelle, helps children develop a sense of empowerment and social responsibility through a neighborhood of animal puppet characters, an occasional human from the knees down, and animated stories with which young children can identify and empathize. The characters, their dilemmas, and the solutions they arrive at, all reflect sensitivity to developmental issues such as feelings, friends, trouble, thinking ahead, prejudice, anger, conflict resolution, decision making, and telling the truth. Through their trials and tribulations, wise guidance is never far away. With Grandpaw nudging them in the right direction through his animated stories, Baxter is able to find thoughtful, non-violent solutions that have a positive effect on his neighborhood.
