I cried the entire show, from the very beginning with the tribute to Sophie!<BR/><BR/>Definately rescue a dog. Search online for breed-specific rescues if you want a purebread dog. We adopted two mutts, and I have to say that they are so much healthier than a lot of people's high-priced dogs from breeders. Wider gene pools, and they're still cute as buttons!<BR/><BR/>Linda, Oprah did say that if she ever got another dog, she would "practice what she preached."Kim Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425510964970520147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26954863.post-16131442555450636122008-04-09T13:05:00.000-04:002008-04-09T13:05:00.000-04:00I balled my eyes out watching that show.

I am so against puppy mills that I refuse to even support pet stores that sell puppies for profit. I am glad Oprah did a show to expose the truth on them and i hope it educated more people on what really goes on. I only wish I could rescue all the dogs that need homes...but buying a dog from a pet store doesn't rescue it, it just opens up another spot for a new puppy from a mill and is an unending process. If anyone is wanting a dog I always suggest checking out shelters or adoptions or find a reputable breeder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26954863.post-48135034403115051312008-04-08T17:24:00.000-04:002008-04-08T17:24:00.000-04:00I recorded that show but was told by my daughter h...I recorded that show but was told by my daughter how difficult it was to watch..

I did see that adorable white dog with the brown spot on his (or her?) eye, the way he wagged his tail as they led him into the room to be put down. I think he would have made a wonderful family addition for so many, and how did he end up there. You are right, I can't imagine Maggie's life if she was used as a breeder.Patty Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986186678305064503noreply@blogger.com
