When you've been through something personally and dealt with or daily still deal with the painful consequences of one's former lack of knowledge on a subject, you then often do become a strong and passionate advocate for trying to pass along your hard-earned, painfully-learned lesson to others, whether your house is wood, brick, glass or you live in a car. What some see as holier-than-thou, others seen as passion born of experience and pain and a strong desire to keep others from making the same mistakes, as the dogs at issue are the ones paying the biggest price for irresponsible breeders dumping too-young and/or genetically-flawed dogs, often the case with puppymills, pet stores that sell dogs and may casual/BYB's. Oftentimes the best spokesperson for any cause is the one who has been there and done that and lives with the consequences. Some of the most eloquent spokespersons for causes are those with the scars and loss from the consequences of their unknowing, uninformed actions. People usually listen closest and longest to those that have actually been though a bad experience rather than those that are just warning against it.
