I went on PuppyFind last night and clicked on My Favorites to see if the breeder in which I was getting my angel Maxx from sold the other pups they had and to my utter horror, shock, and pain I saw on a listing for a female pup one of the photos of my angel baby Maxx!!! The EXACT same photo!! And then on another listing they have for a female I found similar photos (same background, puppy features...ect.) of the very same ones they sent to me of Maxx. I also saw some of the same photos listed on their "new" pups as they had on the listings for their previous pups. How horrible is THAT!!
I feel like my heart got ripped out again!! I asked 101 questions when they sent me "updated" photos of Maxx at the time and he looked totally different. They tried to reassure me that it was the same pup and my hubby even pointed out that I may just be paranoid, but after you sit for hours, staring at photos of your baby and dreaming of holding him, you realize the differences when they are present. Supposedly the man is a judge and I made mention of the fact that I am pursuing my law degree...may have deterred them away from scamming me but I'll never know the truth.
Two days after all my questions I got the news Maxx died. Despite my outrage and hurt I like to take some reassurance in thinking that Maxx didn't really die but went to someone else who asked less questions about the pup they were supposed to be getting. I wonder what pup we would've discovered at the airport in Philly had they sent us one. I even take some comfort in thinking that the puppy I fell in love with in the photos wasn't even "Maxx" at all but just photos of a pup that they use repeatedly to scam people into buying their dogs. I am sooo mad right now but am trying to see the bright side of things; My angel baby Maxx may not be dead and I now have my handsome little Piper Cub. Never again will I trust someone I don't know like that on the Internet. How cruel!!! I feel so violated and hurt. I just hope my Maxx is really OK...wherever he may be.
