Always surprised when people buy (as opposed to rescue) one of those health issue ridden pups which are constantly hobbling around and panting from just walking. Some people find it cute but it really is sad to see the little gremlin have a painful life trying to do normal dog things.

I had an old classmate buy a French bulldog as a puppy, and found out two days later it needed major surgery. She posted this to Facebook as a “poor me” post. Infuriating. Bring the dog back and get something healthy instead of encouraging that awful practice.

2/3 dogs I’ve had in my life have been mutts and they’ve been incredibly healthy, smart, and loving.
