Yorkie Talker | Very Touching Dog Story I purchased this book today "A RARE BREED OF LOVE" by Jana Kohl. I got it from a used books shop this afternoon. It was published in 2008, so maybe most of you may have read it or must have heard of her advocacy. Baby is a poodle who suffered from abusein a puppy mill, eventually she found HOME but had a leg amputated due to osteoporosis. I couldnt put down the book while having dinner (waiting for a business friend) and the waitresses caught my tears rolling down. Very little is known about what happens in puppy mills and commercial breeders in our country (Philippines). And being a newbie in dog-lovin' myself, I was really terrified when I saw the pictures. Baby the poodle was 8 years old when she was about to be killed by the breeder. Someone just came in time to rescue poor Baby who "is too old to produce". Wow, that's so cruel. And i am totally moved by the story. For those who want to read or want to read again, it's available as an ebook. I just hope people in the Philippines understand that dogs (and all animals) have a right to live a good life, too! I hope, too, that rescue groups here like PAWS and SAWS will get enough supporters to fund campaigns on animal rescue and adoption. Oh, I just love the doggie icons! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | What a lovely post - I can feel how much you love animals (me too). Puppy Mills are horrible places, but it is heartening to see people like you speak out against it. Every voice makes a difference!

| Every journey begins with a first step. Best of luck along your way. Just raising your own awareness will have a ripple effect, so don't get discouraged. I'm not familiar with the details of the animal welfare issue in the Phillipines. I imagine it's the same in some ways everywhere. Looking forward to future posts of yours'. It will be educational for all of us.
