A couple of observations outside of the obvious missing details in the media report...
Why was a $7k English Bulldog pregnant? It is generally accepted practice to skip at least the first heat a dog has for the health and wellbeing of the dog when she is bred. Indeed - the higher the dog’s value (usually linked to pedigree), the more likely it is to abide by this practice.
Now - back to the actual case: Why is the media so reluctant to even state the obvious about these situations?
They are my best friends.
