Just be a friend, and if, (and more than likely "when") their puppy begins having problems, be there to support her.
I have been in the same situation, with a neighbor. No matter how much I have explained that you cannot "rescue" these puppies, she still feels sorry for them, and buys them. Their argument is that their dogs have never had health issues. They are the exception to the rule.
She cannot seem to get it in her head, that as soon, as she "rescues' one, another one is brought into replace the puppy.
I've tried explaining to her about the life of the puppies mother, to no avail.
The only way these puppies can be "rescued" is if the pet store was forced to turn all of them over to a Rescue Organization, and the millers did not make their money.
