185 dogs and a skin baby

[ARCHIE]

That poor little two year old! How very sad, not even a chance at life.
I hope they get to the bottom of this sick story and put them away
for life.

Hopefully most of the dogs can be saved if not in too bad condition
after being checked. Another pitifull animal abuse story.
When will it end?

Rather than get the puppy at the breeder's house, the breeder had Hurdle meet her in a parking lot. That's where Hurdle handed over $500 in cash- the only method of payment Barreto accepted.

"Had a child with her, a little girl," Hurdle said. "Nine or ten. Little girl carrying the puppy. She seemed alright. Gave me papers."

When Hurdle took Tootsie to the vet for her boosters, the vet was concerned about the teacup yorkie's size.

"He said he'd never seen one that small," she said.

A day after the booster shots, Tootsie died. Hurdle said she hoped her experience would encourage others always go the breeder's home before buying a dog.

sounds like the shots killed the puppy.. too small to handle it.. i hope they lose all their children and go to jail..

This sickens me. I have two boys adopted from Guatemala. And, without getting off the subject of what is really important I have to scratch my head and wonder how the hell they could afford to adopt seven kids from Guatemala. Anyone that has done an adoption from there can tell you that the cost is somewhere in the ball park of $20,000 - $30,000 per child and they do not give you a break on sibblings. Sadly, it's all about the almighty dollar and not the welfare of the children. I'm really saddened that these people were allowed to adopt not one but seven children. It gives adopted parents a bad name and it says a lot for the people doing the homestudy needed to adopt.

And there neighbor says their so loving? Rather they are guilty or not, anyone running a puppymill doesn't know one thing about love!

I agree, They don't know one thing about love!!!! This is horrible!

What a tragedy.
