Dog Spends Entire Life Locked Up In Basement, Can’t Hold Her Excitement To See The World

Meet B.B., a puppy mill poodle who had spent all of her life locked in a tiny cage in the basement. The mill in North Carolina was raided by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) last September. Animal workers could tell the doggie was bred over and over again. “She was very tiny, and she looked like this helpless creature,” Jessica Lauginiger, animal crimes manager at HSUS, told The Dodo.

B.B. was taken to Cabarrus Animal Hospital, where she caught the attention of Brenda Tortoreo, who worked there as a receptionist. “B.B. was in a corner,” Tortoreo told The Dodo. “She looked pitiful. She was scared to death… And I said, ‘That’s the one I’m going to take home.’”

But, having spent all her life in a tiny cage, the doggie seemed confused at Tortoreo’s place. “I put B.B. down on the floor, and she kept going in circles — not running, but walking,” Tortoreo said. “I guess that’s all she knew to do.”

“She never knew what sun was,” Tortoreo said. “She didn’t know what grass was, and she was terrified of it.”

Little by little, the pooch got accustomed. “She runs around the house,” Tortoreo said. “She’s really come out of her shell. She’s my little princess.”

    It has brought me to tears to think of what this sweet and totally innocent little girl has been put through. I am not going to describe what I think should happen to these people.. suffice to say it would be more than just a fine and imprisonment. Nothing can bring back the years that this little doggy has spent locked away but I an so glad she now has the freedom, protection and love that she deserves..

    Anyone who runs a puppy mill should spend a year locked in a cage in the very same conditions they keep the dogs in. We could televise it. It would make for great viewing.

    I too, have a puppy that was a victim of a private puppy mill. She along with dozens of other yorkie's were rescued here in Texas about 18 months ago. She is 9 years old now. I have had her for a year now but she was breed for 8 of those 9 years. Like your baby she never knew what it was to have a loving touch to her sweet soft tummy, or a tender kiss to her tiny head. Grass was a scary, new experience along with the bright sun. Oh but getting the old clumpy hair removed and a nice warm bath felt so good. Even a visit to the vet who was tender and spoke tenderly to her made her feel safe. It's been over a year since her nightmare ended and her new life has begun. She loves her older doggie brother and two cat siblings. She still doesn't know how to play with toys but in the last week I have watched her run in the backyard. Yes, we still have a ways to go but for now my little Sophie is home and she is loved. Sophie is finally happy and safe! God bless you for princess new life!

Thank you so much for taking in this wonderful creature who only wanted to please and do good. I hope her "owners" are found (after a long time) in a cage with no light, no comfort only knowing those with no mercy. They absolutely deserve the worst treatment for the rest of their lives.

    These breeders should have to apply for an application (for a hefty fee), register with state/federal applicable agencies, pay a yearly super-hefty license renewal fee and be subject to random inspections to ensure the health and welfare of the animals. This would cut back on a lot of these unscrupulous "breeders" and perhaps force them to stop living as parasites and get a real job. Have you ever met any of these "breeders?" Too spooky for words,.

    God bless you for your kindness! There should be strictly enforced FEDERAL laws that breeders have to file an application for "breeding" license, pay a registration fee and pay a yearly HEFTY licensing renewal fee, be subject to regular inspections and whatever else it takes to run an ethical "business." This would help to get rid of a lot of the walking sewage who are too lazy and too stupid to get a real job and are basically human parasites. I would cross the street to avoid breathing the same air as these lazy a**holes!

    That is so wrong the way the puppy mills treat their dogs. We should build a cage for the owners of them and make them live in it for 30 days as punishment for their actions while waiting to go to court for sentencing and no they won't get any time reduced for it.

    I'm a law abiding citizen, I've never been arrested, questioned by anyone with authority, never even had a police caution. But seeing things like this gets me so mad that I consider donning an orange jumpsuit for justice to these poor defenseless babies. How anyone can abuse, neglect or inflict any kind of suffering upon another living creature just blows my mind. The trouble that this poor little lady could experience through over breeding is heart breaking. And all because someone wants to make money out of her. She should be loved, hugged and showered with happiness, not locked in a cage shelling out puppies... it's sickening!

    It has brought me to tears to think of what this sweet and totally innocent little girl has been put through. I am not going to describe what I think should happen to these people.. suffice to say it would be more than just a fine and imprisonment. Nothing can bring back the years that this little doggy has spent locked away but I an so glad she now has the freedom, protection and love that she deserves..

    puppy mills are just dispicable I have a dog from one, all she knew to do was chase birds because she was in an outside cage and birds came in to pinch the little food she got, I have had her nearly a year she is just learning how to play, does not know how to chase a ball, loves kids and my grandies love just loveing her , it makes me sick because she could have had a great begining to her life, shoot the pigs

    Anyone who runs a puppy mill should spend a year locked in a cage in the very same conditions they keep the dogs in. We could televise it. It would make for great viewing.

    I too, have a puppy that was a victim of a private puppy mill. She along with dozens of other yorkie's were rescued here in Texas about 18 months ago. She is 9 years old now. I have had her for a year now but she was breed for 8 of those 9 years. Like your baby she never knew what it was to have a loving touch to her sweet soft tummy, or a tender kiss to her tiny head. Grass was a scary, new experience along with the bright sun. Oh but getting the old clumpy hair removed and a nice warm bath felt so good. Even a visit to the vet who was tender and spoke tenderly to her made her feel safe. It's been over a year since her nightmare ended and her new life has begun. She loves her older doggie brother and two cat siblings. She still doesn't know how to play with toys but in the last week I have watched her run in the backyard. Yes, we still have a ways to go but for now my little Sophie is home and she is loved. Sophie is finally happy and safe! God bless you for princess new life!

Thank you so much for taking in this wonderful creature who only wanted to please and do good. I hope her "owners" are found (after a long time) in a cage with no light, no comfort only knowing those with no mercy. They absolutely deserve the worst treatment for the rest of their lives.

    These breeders should have to apply for an application (for a hefty fee), register with state/federal applicable agencies, pay a yearly super-hefty license renewal fee and be subject to random inspections to ensure the health and welfare of the animals. This would cut back on a lot of these unscrupulous "breeders" and perhaps force them to stop living as parasites and get a real job. Have you ever met any of these "breeders?" Too spooky for words,.

    God bless you for your kindness! There should be strictly enforced FEDERAL laws that breeders have to file an application for "breeding" license, pay a registration fee and pay a yearly HEFTY licensing renewal fee, be subject to regular inspections and whatever else it takes to run an ethical "business." This would help to get rid of a lot of the walking sewage who are too lazy and too stupid to get a real job and are basically human parasites. I would cross the street to avoid breathing the same air as these lazy a**holes!

    This story made me cry. How can anyone do this to a fellow living creature? Put the puppy mill people into a small cage and leave them there for five years. Shove their food into the cage and ignore them. That is fitting punishment for these evil reptiles.

    That is so wrong the way the puppy mills treat their dogs. We should build a cage for the owners of them and make them live in it for 30 days as punishment for their actions while waiting to go to court for sentencing and no they won't get any time reduced for it.

    I'm a law abiding citizen, I've never been arrested, questioned by anyone with authority, never even had a police caution. But seeing things like this gets me so mad that I consider donning an orange jumpsuit for justice to these poor defenseless babies. How anyone can abuse, neglect or inflict any kind of suffering upon another living creature just blows my mind. The trouble that this poor little lady could experience through over breeding is heart breaking. And all because someone wants to make money out of her. She should be loved, hugged and showered with happiness, not locked in a cage shelling out puppies... it's sickening!
