Pet stores, puppy mills cause bad behavior

·

Jeffrey Klein, an alumnus from Eastern Michigan University, always wanted a small dog. Two and a half years ago he eagerly set up a profile page on the Web site Petfinder.com, with a goal to adopt the perfect pup. Soon enough, he received an e-mail from the site that said an illegal puppy mill broke down and there are now small puppies available. Klein went to the home the puppies were being fostered at and excitedly picked up one of the little dogs. The puppy instantly fell asleep in his arms, and it was then he knew this was the perfect dog to adopt.
