My roommate was recently nervous because our sorority big/little was coming up when the pledge class above picks a little sister in the new pledge class. She rushed as a sophomore and was nervous that no one would want her because everyone wants a puppy, not a dog. While this example is a little ridiculous I feel like this mentality isn't just seen in sororities and pounds. When families go to adopt a baby, they want the youngest possible child. Whether its makes it more their own because they have no memory of life before that or they just think they are cuter is a mystery but it does happen. This mentality can be seen in a professional environment as well in professions that are "young" like fashion magazines. There was celebrity drama recently because Megan Fox got a role over Angelina Jolie because of her age. Youth is something that people desire whether it's in themselves or in another person. People, women especially, will pay thousands of dollars just to look like the puppy that everyone wants again.
