[QUOTE="donna723, post: 308655, member: 1883"] Fran, I agree with you completely. So many people buy a puppy because it's cute but they do absolutely no research on the breed they're buying and have no idea what to expect. People buy long-haired dogs and then complain that they shed and require a lot of grooming. They do that with Bostons all the time too. People complain that they're "hyper" and have so much energy. Or they complain that they're gassy, they snore, snort and grunt. Yes, they do! Because they're Bostons and Bostons do that! I was discussing the "whys" with one of the rescue people. He told me that it's also very common for a lot of abusive men to make threats against a woman's pets as another way of controlling her. He's heard of men who have threatened to throw their wife's or girlfriend's dog out of a moving car, and some have actually done it - could be what happened with this little one. [/QUOTE]
