i just wanted to add. but i do know what you mean everytime i go to the petstore in the mall the look on their faces are so desperate and sad. i'm always thinking that they had such a bad start to life they deserve the rest of it to be good. there are people who aren't educated, those are the ones who buy the dogs. its better if they're educated because then no one buys anything. eventually the puppy mills won't get any one to buy then the mom dogs won't have to have babies any more and they are all rescued. its much better that way, really. because then they all have good homes, the moms and their puppies. if only the puppies get good homes, then the moms have to go through torture and pain for the rest of their lives. ok i'm done now. thank you for listening.
