I will never regret it because not only do we love Porkie but we know if we hadn't gotten him when we did he would be dead now! The pet store would never have put out the $1,300.00 it cost us to save his life after he was starved by them (anorexia) (2 lbs and only fed twice a day) as well as hypoglycemia and dehydration. Considering everything I hate the mere idea of puppy mills/breeders or anyone else doing this just to make a buck especially when everyone suffers if there are health problems early on or even later (possible liver shunt) but on the other hand I just can't regret having our Porkie for even one minute. It's a real dilemma  |
dont feel bad about saving your porky..those puppy mills and pet stores selling dogs will be out of business soon.. if there is justice in america.. then we can save the puppies and the parents still enslaved.,.
