What does PUPPY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A young dog, especially one that is not yet fully grown.
A puppy is a dog in the early stage of its life, usually under about a year old, when it is still growing and learning basic behaviour. A puppy typically has softer fur, larger paws relative to its body and more energy for play than an adult dog. Owners often need to house-train a puppy and teach it simple commands before it matures. The word is also used affectionately for a young or inexperienced person or animal in a broader sense.
