Store owners count on love at first sight because it prompts people to shell out hundreds of dollars to take cute puppies home. It should be a happy ending: The dog gets a home and the store turns a profit. But there is an unseen, darker side to the story. As long as pet shops churn out puppies, unwanted dogs in animal shelters will be killed. And most pups sold in stores come from hellholes called puppy mills, where mother dogs and “studs” spend lonely lives in miserable cages, producing litter after litter, like so many widgets off an assembly line. - Author/Photo courtesy of PETA<br /><br /></span>Read more <a href="http://www.helpinganimals.com/f-puppymillprison.asp">here...</a><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><blockquote></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7936846226951059037-8246206795686769936?l=savethemnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashleynoreply@blogger.com1
