I just think it is so sad that the need to have a tiny dog is making someone do this |
What an absolutely heinous and cruel thing your sister is doing :eek: Continuing on the path she is on, she will have a dead puppy on her hands in no time. It makes me so sad that someone would choose to own a puppy simply as an accessory instead of treating it as the wonderful living creature that it is. Clearly she cannot actually care for the puppy if she is slowly starving it to death. That is absolute abuse. I have a 14lb yorkie, a 7lb yorkie, a 5.5 yorkie and a 4lb yorkie. All of mine are fed the same amount of food and type. Starving her dog WILL NOT keep it small, it will kill it. :thumbdown |
I think you could answer your own question. Do you think doing the same thing to a human child would affect his health? OF COURSE!!! Why would a dog or ANY living thing not be any different :confused: Sorry, but this is very ill to read and simply your sister has no heart. :( My boy is small framed and although he eats all he wants (free kibble-high quality).........he gets a little belly but his frame is still tiny. You cannot beat GENETICS! |

No offense, but I REALLY hope this is a troll post and not a true story. With that being said.... Everyone is correct in saying that this is abuse. And of course this pup is not active, he's too weak!!! He needs food!!! Would she underfeed her baby to keep him smaller and stunt his growth from malnutrition? I really hope not!! I have to stop now b/c I'm getting too annoyed. But, if this is true, I really hope you intervene...heck, take the dog away and keep him for yourself!!! :mad: Better yet, give us her email so we can talk some sense into her. :rolleyes: |

Sorry, but someone really should take that baby from her! d |
GOD PLEASE let this just be a sh#t stirrer:mad: If this is for real, then she needs the cr@p beat out of her for doing this to an innocent animal:( Does she starve herself too, to stay "small"? I can't be nice, sorry guys! |
Bryana - I already posted but this bothered me alot - we have so many truly sick puppies here and to read this just makes me so sad for all the dogs in our culture ...Size is NOT king - Health is. when you said this : "He is a little guy and he has been losing weight instead of gaining weight & He is clearly constantly hungry, but he shows no health problems." I think you know the answer to your original question and that dog needs your help. Morally it's wrong to do this to any animal - but she's doing physical damage to him if he's losing weight .....why is the vet not telling her this ?? Maybe you can call her vet and let them talk to her ?? I would - I'd do anything to change that kind of thinking - it's sick. She may not know better but she's really obsessing about size WAY too much - it seems everyone is these days... and that's so sad for a gorgeous ALREADY small breed. |
Bryana, welcome to YT. You're asking good questions, but, I think you already knew the answers. You know what's right just by your experience. Have a good New Year. |
I can't believe this to be true I would never think that people would do this to a puppy.:( It's not just this young lady, there are others I'm sure. Imagine the young girls who won't eat to stay skinny, it's the same way people will do a pet. |

Your sister sounds very immature. She doesn't even have enough responsibility to own a pet if she is more worried about herself, and that is all she is worried about is the vanity of having a "purse dog". Maybe she doesn't understand how she is jepordizing the health of her puppy. Let her read all these replies and maybe she will understand that this not acceptable. |
This is animal cruelty and you are obligated by law to report it. You should feed the dog if she will not. You can't stand by and do nothing. |
I belong on Mytoos (Cockatoo forum) and we get a lot of trolls on there too trying to stir things up. I was thinking early on that this is what this may be. Atleast I hope it is. It would be a damn shame to think that someone would deliberatly starve their dog just to keep them small. Then again, Tia came to us malnurished and was advertised as a "Designer Purse Puppy." Seems like as of late so many are buying these dogs as accessories. Disgusting. Anyway, I surely hope that this isn't really happening to this poor pup. Elaine. |
