Pups of Liberty: The Dog-claration of Independence
Hi! I’m Anne Kennel, and the episode of Pups of Liberty you’re about to see is based on the Declaration of Independence. However, in this version, all of the real people of history will be portrayed by cats and dogs.
For example, you will see Spaniel Adams, a dog like me, representing Samuel Adams, who was a real living person like you. Then we have Paul Ruffere, who is based on Paul Revere. See how that works? Well they do say people look like their dogs.
After the Boston Tea Party, King George III instituted new rules that were intended to make the colonists give up their fight for independence. This only made them want their freedom more. They called together a convention of delegates from each of the thirteen colonies and met in Philadelphia. This Continental Congress focused on one very important decision, whether or not to declare independence from England.
The colonies would become a free nation. But that would mean they have to go to war with England, which is Catland in our story.

It is important that we always remember what it was like to have to fight for freedom, the cost, and what it was like to be ruled by others.
