“How Much is that Doggie in the Window?”

I am very aware of the trend propelled by Young Hollywood and the Socialites of having the cutest, smallest dog with the names like Ooh La La and Tinkerbell. Dogs are not meant to be accessories but have now become more like the Jimmy Choos and the Manolo Blaninks that every women covets. This trend fuels the puppy mills and keeps the market and demand on high. One look into The Beverly Center Mall in Beverly Hills’ puppy boutique and the customers that frequent them, will reveal what’s wrong with this country, a society unaware of the dangers of commercialization where living things become nothing more than a commodity.
