Puppy love is an informal term for feelings of love between young people, especially during adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the affection that may be felt towards a puppy dog. Puppy love is also commonly known as a "crush." The crush is the small form of love which can grow into romantic love.
See also limerence and infatuation.
During Elizabethan times, it was known as 'calf-love'; a traditional example is in the famous William Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet.
