Puppies Died During Filming of Snow Buddies

[IRescue452]

I just got the explanation of what happened to the pups from the lady
who owns the Saint in the movie. The supplier for the pups did not have
enough pups the right age so shipped 4 and 5 week old pups with no shots
to the movie set. He lied on his shipping paperwork. The babies got ill
quickly and some did die but the movie crew got good vet care for all of
them and many survived. The movie was delayed while the ASPCA
investigated the deaths. The movie folks were smacked for accepting the
underage pups but the movie was released as they were cleared of any
invovement in the pups being ill. All the pups have since had health
clearances and are in good homes.

No, there's no excuse. No reason why they need four week old pups when they can't get ones old enough. That is the most pathetic cover-up story I've heard. The film crew accepted and paid for the puppies didn't they. There is quite an obvious difference between 4 and 8 weeks.

I, for one, hope the golden retriever breeder is exposed for this. I'd want to find out who this is. Lemme at 'em.

I thought the concept of puppies winning a sled dog race was stupid to begin with. There's no concept there I'd want to teach children. Ooo cute puppies pulling a sled, what is that? They could have at least used adult golden retrievers.
