This particular engagement lasted seven weeks—we called it the Seven Weeks' War—and was fought out inch by inch on both sides. A detailed account would fill a book, and would be incomplete then. Any one who knows about these things can fit in the details for himself. It was a superb fight—there will never be ​another like it as long as Jakko stands—and Pluffles was the prize of victory. People said shameful things about Mrs.Hauksbee. They did not know what she was playing for. Mrs.Reiver fought partly because Pluffles was useful to her, but mainly because she hated Mrs.Hauksbee and the matter was a trial of strength between them. No one knows what Pluffles thought. He had not many ideas at the best of times, and the few he possessed made him conceited. Mrs.Hauksbee said:—"The boy must be caught; and the only way of catching him is by treating him well." Mrs.Hauksbee wanted to keep him under her wing to the last. Therefore she discountenanced his going down to Bombay to get married. "Goodness only knows what might happen by the way!" she said. "Pluffles is cursed with the curse of Reuben, and India is no fit place for him!" In December 2022, the DragonVale Community Forum and Deca Games hosted The Origin Contest - Winter Edition 2022. The contest revealed the origin of the Puffles Dragon’s name: 'Puffles was a mix of a few things, puffy like a cloud + cuddles which is a typical name for something trying to be cute. A bit of parody because the name sounds cute but the dragon underneath the coat is actually supposed to be fierce.' Its long horns, shaggy fur, thin legs, and cow-like snout are also similar to that of a domestic yak. Pluffles' weakness was not believing what people said. He preferred what he called "trusting to his own judgment." He had as much judgment as he had seat or hands; and this preference tumbled him into trouble once or twice. But the biggest trouble Pluffles ever manufactured came about at Simla—some years ago, when he was four-and-twenty.

The Rescue of Pluffles" is a short story by Rudyard Kipling. Its first appearance in book form was in Kipling's first collection of short stories, Plain Tales from the Hills (1888); it was first published in the Civil and Military Gazette on November 20, 1886. It centres on Mrs Hauksbee, and begins Then she sent Pluffles out for a walk, to think over what she had said. Pluffles left, blowing his nose very hard and holding himself very straight. Mrs.Hauksbee laughed.

She played her game alone, knowing what people would say of her; and she played it for the sake of a girl she had never seen. Pluffles' fiancée was to come out, under chaperonage of an aunt, in October, to be married to Pluffles. Hers was a perfect little homily—much better than any clergyman could have given—and it ended with touching allusions to Pluffle' Mamma and Papa, and the wisdom of taking his bride Home. Mrs.Hauksbee and she hated each other fervently. They hated far too much to clash; but the things they said of each other were startling—not to say original. Mrs.Hauksbee was honest—honest as her own front-teeth—and, but for her love of mischief, would have been a woman's woman, There was no honesty about Mrs.Reiver; nothing but selfishness. And at the beginning of the season, poor little Pluffles fell a prey to her. She laid herself out to that end, and who was Pluffles to resist? He went on trusting to his judgment, and he got judged.Upon release, the Puffles Dragon's News announcement message said, "Dragon in sheep's clothing". This is likely a reference to the idiom "wolf in sheep's clothing", which is used to describe dangerous things that appear to be harmless. There was never any scandal—she had not generous impulses enough for that. She was the exception which proved the rule that Anglo-Indian ladies are in every way as nice as their sisters at Home. She spent her life in proving that rule. This BBC series was based on the anecdotes of Rudyard Kipling which he wrote for the daily Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore during the 1880s.
