Pets to the Rescue
We have all heard of rescue dogs or pets, where humans rescue or adopt an animal from a shelter. Rescue Pets are also specifically a plush toy series manufactured and marketed by MGA Entertainment. They are mainly dogs, but can be other animals such as a cat or...Three Levels of the Mind
