As many of you know our first Yorkie, Bandit, died a month after we got him. We have been fighting the jerk (American Breeders in NJ) who sold him to us for 2 months now, trying to get our money back. We were clueless at the time and bought him from a pet shop. Well, the guy basically said tough luck, I'm not giving you a dime. He was dealing with the wrong person! I reported him to the Division of Consumer Affairs, they regulate the sale of cats and dogs in NJ. When they didn't work fast enough to suit me I called my congressman and asked his office to help. They put pressure on the Division to work on it. The woman working my case called today to say that the pet store sent a letter to her saying they would refund the purchase price of the dog. (over $1700) I'm so glad. No amount of money can bring Bandit back, but this guy was so arogant and snotty to us I'm just glad we were able to hit him where it hurts. Once I get my money some of it is going to go towards picketing this place and making sure people know they get their dogs from puppy mills. If I can do anything to shut him down I'm going to. His attitude during the whole thing was disgracful. He couldn't care less about the pain my family went through when Bandit died. I'm glad I got some kind of justice for Bandit. He deserved so much more!
