Babe was liberated from a Texas puppy mill, along with about 500 other dogs, on August 11, 2009. Unfortunately, it was too late for Babe. Her photo has broken hearts and generated outrage against puppy mills. May she not have died in vain.

  "This girl never knew life, she was forsaken since the day she was born. She existed   in a mill into her teens, and was liberated the same day she passed away. When we pulled her out we called her Babe, and repeated that term of endearment as we said goodbye."  ~Scotlund Haisley, Humane Society of the United States http://video.hsus.org/

Oddly, Babe died on the same date as my beloved Daisey Grace, one year later. ~Laurie Hanan
