<b>The life of a mill dog is one of unspeakable cruelty</b> - No living being should be forced to endure such suffering. <b>Behind every cute puppy sold in a pet store there are two parents</b> - Our work is about the mothers and fathers left behind. <b>Pet store puppies are not healthier or better quality</b> - They are more likely to become sick or suffer from genetic defects and behavioral issues. <b>No one wants to support puppy mills</b> - The key is educating the public on puppy mills and their sales outlets. <b>Buying a puppy in a pet store does not save that puppy</b> - It will be replaced with another puppy and continue a cycle of cruelty.
