It truly is tragic and we need to do our best to save the dogs who are already alive and suffering before we bring more into the world. These dogs want nothing more than to have someone love them for who they are, not how much money they can make off them. I mean, not all rescues come from puppymills but you get my drift. Maybe that will help convince him?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it.
