i just had to post this because it hit home for me so much- even more so than other stories I have seen because all the dogs were Yorkies. I found myself looking down at Tobey laying next to me and tears welling up in my eyes to think that precious little ones just like him had to spend YEARS in those cages. It makes me think that some of them were probably not even used for breeding purposes but simply just neglected completely. I agree with someone who posted that before- some of them could barely even move they were so badly matted.
what makes me more upset is that people continue to think that puppies in petstores don't come from puppy mills. I just talked to a lady at work today who bought her shih tzu from a pet store a year ago and when I talked to her about puppymills she totally acted offended that i would even imply that her dog might have came from a puppy mill and said she had his papers and he was not from one. (yeah right!)
It makes me SOOOO angry! because this doesn't have to exist!! I don't get why there aren't more laws against this kind of abuse! I do admire the work that the rescue people do- I don't know if I could stand to do it knowing you can't always help them all.
