Toffee

Can design promote equal moral consideration for all living beings? Drawing on principles of multi-species ethnography, Nahid Shirzadkhan has created an engaging educational system for safe child-dog interactions. Toffee teaches responsible pet care using reward-based, multi- sensory play. With millions of Americans affected by dog bites annually, and over one hundred thousand pets surrendered or euthanized as a result, this project aims to reduce abandonment while supporting pets as cherished, lifelong family members.
