I bought a pet store dog once. He was sick when I bought him and died young. I loved that dog so much it makes me sick to think of how hard his poor little life was. I wondered often about his siblings and his poor mother. I imagine the lives of these breeding dogs is absolutely horrid.
I didn't know better. When I visit that store today, I really notice how ill kept the place is, and the dogs mostly have dried drainage on the nose -(kennel cough). The dogs are scarcely given water- fed through water bottles meant for small rodents at best. If you say something, the usual response is just truly ignorant. The pet shop workers have zero training and understanding of dog health and care really.
The stories about puppy mills, I know now. I don't need to review that list. It is so disheartening. We have so many laws but none to prevent and protect the breeding of dogs. Or do we?
Siberian huskies are a lot like potato chips. We need to have more than one!
