Buena Vista author Cary Unkelbach says all buyers must do their homework before agreeing to buy any puppy. Sheâs written the true crime book, âHeartbreak Kennel: The True Story of Max and His Breeder,â that offers a buyerâs beware message.
The story details how a seemingly well-intentioned canine breeder ends up abandoning nearly one hundred Labrador retrievers in a northern Colorado field in 2004, leaving behind a trail of heartbroken puppy buyers and unhealthy puppies.Â
Unkelbach will appear with her Labrador Ranger, a distant relative of Max, from 3â6 p.m., Dec. 12, at Book Haven, 109 N F St, Salida.
