The boy handled/treated the new puppy

The boy handled the new puppy with love and tenderness.

Hi,
I think 'handled' in the above equals "treated" in meaning. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Hi, 'Handled' tends to focus more on the use of his hands. 'Tretaed' is more general, eg it could include speaking to it in a kind way. Clive
