Ailments go untreated as puppies bide their time among the dying and the dead. These are the squalid conditions of puppy mills, where it’s estimated more than two million dogs are mass-produced for profit each year. The more people learn about puppy mills, the better chance we have of stopping such practices.

One day while I was volunteering I met a little pit bull puppy who was recovering from a spaying. The puppy seemed too thin to me so I asked about her story. All eight of the puppies were in foster care. I had a couple of dogs when I was a kid, but I mostly grew up with cats. But I'm no dog expert.

A New York Times story that ran in 2001 about a homeless dog wandering around a suburban part of New York City, struck a chord with me. It took nine years for my picture book, THE BLUE HOUSE DOG, (Peachtree Publishers/August 1, 2010) to come out. The boy was wounded by his loss, just as the homeless dog was wounded when his owner died.
