When my wife and I decided to buy our first dog, we did oodles of research online. In doing so, we found out about puppy mills, which are as bad as they sound. Basically, Puppy Mills are places that pass themselves off as quality breeders, while in reality they pass off diseased dogs or dogs that are too young to be released from their mothers. The horror stories out there about puppy mills are truly chilling.
It’s unclear whether or not the breeder in this article is truly fronting a puppy mill, but she did sell a 4 week old dog to a woman. Which, if you don’t know dogs, is a huge no-no. Taking a puppy away from its mother too early will fuck that mutt up for life, if not completely kill it, which in this case it did. As soon as the woman found out from the vet that her dog was that young, she rushed back to the breeder’s home to return it, only to see it die on the trip over.
I can’t express how mad I would be if I were that woman, but I’m not sure I’d resort to using the extremely interesting weapon she chose to attack the breeder with.

It’s equally twisted, though, to be using that dead puppy as a weapon to beat the “breeder.” Two wrongs don’t make a right. As if that weren’t bad enough, as she drove away, she was waving the dead puppy in defiance, out the window.
Oy!!
