| National Geographic show (Dog Town) about puppy mills It's on now. CBS (Entertainment tonight) had a feature and had a little terrier on there. The little terrier looks like it might be part or all yorkie. You cant tell how crazy he is acting and never groomed. He has never been pet by a human. They are just calling him a black terrier. The show is about dogs from mills that are brought to dog town and how they learn social skills to become a pet.

| I missed the show, but saw a teaser on "Inside Edition". The black terrier definitely looked like it was part yorkie. My heart goes out to all those dogs.

| I'm watching it now, and I could just cry, I actually started too a couple of times..how can people be so cruel? These babies live their lives in cages with no human contact, producing puppy after puppies, sometimes 60 puppies in their life, then when they can't produce anymore they kill the dogs..this just breaks my heart, wish they could do this to the idiots that do this to these precious pups. |

My furkids Donating Member | I watched that show last night...very heartbreaking but, at the end of the show the "black terrier" was showing improvment with people and other animals...I watch Ceaser from 8:00 until 11:00...I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch Dog Town...I figured it was going to be sad.

| Little "Animal" is now renamed NOBLE and is up for adoption on the Dog Town web site.

| When it first started last night...I thought, I just can't watch this. So I wasn't going to...then I realized that Paris was laying on the remote I couldn't wake her to change the channel. I ended up watching the entire show and I am soooo glad this is on. The more attention that can be brought to how terrible mills, brokers and byb are, then only good can come of it. I also thought this would be good for the sanctuary to get the publicity and maybe some $$ to fund more rescues. I LOVED what they did for those yorkies. Noble is an inspiration...
