Moss Puppy Magazine About Moss Puppy Magazine is a literary magazine founded in July 2021. We are curly haired swamp creatures howling into the moonlight, doggy paddling and barking at toads and flies. We want your weird, muddy, and messy - the turtles without shells, boiled frogs, & mushroom-capped fairies. Show us what's in your swamp.
