The incredible recovery of Boston Terrier puppy named Libre

When little Libre was first brought to a Pennsylvania veterinary hospital on Independence Day, doctors said the Boston Terrier puppy needed a miracle to survive.

His rotting flesh, infected with mange, could be smelled from far away. He was emaciated, dehydrated, barely breathing as he floated in and out of consciousness.

But fast forward to nearly three weeks of around-the-clock care at the Dillsburg Veterinary Center, and Libre seems like a completely different puppy.

But don't you think that when animals don't know how bad off they are they have an advantage over humans? I do.When our prognosis is unsurvivable we are at a huge disadvantage because we prepare ourselves for the worst.

Poor Dog ! It's astonishing to think
that the Amish are noted for PUPPY MILLS!
When I first read about that it was hard for
me to believe as I envisioned them as religious
people with compassion/feelings. However they
look at the animals as a commodity. It all about
the money for them as it is others who do the same.

I had read where PA Govenor had established
more stringent rules for those who raised puppies
to sell. Evidently-----as with so many more Mills
there are not enough people to inspect them all.

I encourage all who want a puppy -----
DO NOT BUY FROM A PET STORE! Tthese pups come
from Puppy Mills & it's a life of torture for
the parent dogs!
