I found this site. It is a story about a little maltese named Hope that was rescued from a puppy mill at the age of six. Please take a look, with all of the questions about why we need to stop puppy mills this is a great example of what they have to offer to the lives of these poor animals. It is horrifiying the way she looked when they found her.
