A friend who has worked many years rescuing pets from shelters sent me this video, Rescuing Edie.  It's hard to watch in the beginning, but it has a happy ending.  

It should be required viewing for every dog breeder and anyone thinking of purchasing a dog from a breeder or pet store and also people "rehoming" their pets on the Craig'slist pet community site, since a large number of them end up in Edie's situation.

Hats off to all the selfless people who work in shelters and those who give dogs like Edie a second chance at a happy life.
