Safety Pup Day

The safety of children is one of the main factors that parents pay attention to. Teaching children to behave correctly and warning them about the dangers they may encounter in life are the goals of Safety Pup Day. Celebrate this unusual day annually on February 12.

History

It is quite difficult to convey important information to children through stories and moralizing. The research and development department came up with the image of a cheerful dog named Safetypup, which became a symbol of safety. This character was introduced on February 12, 1985, and immediately gained love and popularity among kids.

Law enforcement and educational structures use the charming dog as an accessible source of information for children. Kids are interested in playing with a puppy, and they subconsciously remember everything that he tells them about safety measures.

Over time, Safetypup began to be depicted on food packages, posters in schools and kindergartens, and playgrounds. Next to the charming character, there is always a list of warnings about the dangers lurking in the product or in that place.

Interesting Facts

• In 1984, cases of child abduction became more frequent in the United States. For preventive measures, the image of a funny puppy appeared on milk cartons for the first time. Both adults and children immediately drew attention to the puppy and read the important information. This method proved effective and remains relevant.

How to Celebrate

For the celebration, you can make a useful gift to your child. On specialized sites, you can buy a Safetypup doll, which will help teach your child about precautions.

Usually, on this day, law enforcement agencies organize events in educational institutions and city squares, where the main character is the cheerful Safetypup. Parents should attend these events with their children. In the form of a game, children memorize important information that will help them avoid danger.
