Maybe you ought to send a picture of that sign to her!

My guess is Bob is a puppy broker, and since more people are frowning at dogs being sold in pet stores, we will have more puppy brokers, the individual millers make very little for their pups, the Dane brothers paid less than $200.00 a dog, but brokers turn around and sell these dogs for thousands. So we are raising the standard of living for puppy brokers, not for the dogs.

I travel the Kennedy all the time and remember that sign well! Oprah also works with PAWS Chicago and donated huge money for the dogs. Remember when she had all the mill Yorkies on her show after the mill buster. All of the really sick dogs that needed amputations and lost all their teeth went to YTNR. I think most if not all have now been adopted.
