{"product_id":"the-puppy-mill-june-debassige-9780228895701","title":"The Puppy Mill","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe characters and events in this book are fictional. The individuals, both human and animal, came to life after a turbulent night in dreamland from which I awoke compelled to put pen to paper. The events penned in this story are fiction; however, the focus of the book is based on fact. Puppy mills, puppy barns and animal abuse happen. I cannot condone nor will I apologize for the illicit actions of my fictional characters; however, I can offer this advice: take the decision to purchase a family pet seriously, do your homework and buy from a reputable breeder. If you are not looking for a pure-bred, look at adopting a rescue, and chances are you will find your perfect match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewman, the dog on the cover, is real, the non-fiction in a fiction novel. I chose him from the many shelter and abused dogs I have encountered. Newman is one of the lucky ones-he had a real-life champion on his side, and I thank each of you sincerely for that. The reason I chose Newman was simple: his expression, which at first glance you may think it is comical, but there is nothing funny about Newman. That look is terror, a reaction he had when anyone came close to his space. Maybe he anticipated another beating? Newman was rescued by a woman in Florida who used her own time and money to save animals from abuse. She never refused an animal in distress.
