Now a new feature-length documentary, Dog by Dog, has gone further to expose how an industry that continues to abuse and exploit mans best friend in a nation of dog lovers has been able to continue to successfully stay in business.
The story is told by Chris Ksoll, a banker who got involved after fostering a former mill dog and Christopher Grimes, CEO of 5414 Productions, who investigates the money trail they believe leads to 2 to 4 million dogs being purchased from mills every year.
. . .
They expose the involvement of agribusinesses that have nothing to do with dogs, including Monsanto and Smithfield the nations largest pork producer that are stepping in to block any meaningful change for our canine companions. Their interest in thwarting these efforts, many believe, is that if we get change for dogs, well come for their pigs, chickens, goats, sheep and cows next and better standards for animals mean more work and lower profits for them.

This looks like an important documentary that exposes the truth of how these dogs are treated, and it breaks my heart. Every time someone tells me that they bought a puppy, I cringe and can hardly contain my disgust for that person.
