Puppies is a microservice for fetching puppy pictures for you to use as placeholder images in your app.
I really like dogs. Dogs are great. And puppies are adorable. So when I was working on a large website for a client, I would wind up using random pictures of dogs from Google Images as placeholders. I always liked this more than static placeholder boxes since we could approximate color, so I made a simple microservice to further simplify this process.
