At the time, I was a member of the media and I had backing of several animal org officers. It was all to no avail.

I can only hope that all these years later maybe they are gone.

We didn't buy Ozzie -- we ransomed him. And I'm so glad we did. He is one of the sweetest little guys ever.

That experience was a complete opposite to the first Yorkie we had. He came from a great breeder who carefully screened buyers and even went and got back some of her dogs when she found out about abuse! Unfortunately, she died before we were looking for another puppy.

good for you !! Dogs need us to speak up for them and it sounds like you at least made an effort - so many people don't or just don't know how...

Just a reminder - it's on tonight in Houston - tommorrow on the website...

I'll be watching online. I'm so glad you're televising this story. If more journalists across the country would catch the "fever", maybe some of these shysters could be shut down.

can't wait for the rest of this story..

On a slightly different note, there is a story tonight on fox 5 in the new york metro area on a pet store that sells unhealthy puppies. the radio ad didn't say what petstore it is but it did say that it sold a puppy with a dislocated hip to a family. i'm gonna watch that tonight

The story was aired a few minutes ago and can't wait to watch the second part.
It breaks my heart to see all those puppies waiting for someone to rescue them.

doortego · 02-20-2007, 07:34 PM

Ok Whose Yorkie was that???

veguroev · 02-20-2007, 07:37 PM

yes I want to know too.

~Kinzi~ · 02-20-2007, 07:58 PM

I really really hope all this press & the local YT people
shut this sorry place down. I will watch again & keep
my fingers crossed!! What sad sad people running that place!!!

Fox26News · 02-20-2007, 07:58 PM

The higher-ups at Fox 26 realized that the website's business section really wasn't the right place for our investigative stories. So here's how you can see Randy's story on Brushy Creek Kennel:

>Go to www.myfoxhouston.com
>Click on the "news" tab near the top of the page
>Click on "Randy Wallace, Fox 26 Investigates" on the right side of page
>Click on the title from list of stories (most recent at top)

Tuesday's Brush Creek story should be available for viewing sometime Wednesday morning. Let me know what you think. After the next part airs Wednesday night, I will let you know how we decided what to include and what to leave out. Thanks for watching and there's more to come!

I fell asleep early last night, am so mad at myself. Was hoping it would be online early this morning but can't wait!
