Lucy was a little dog who was rescued from a puppy farm.

A puppy farm is a place where dogs are kept by people who do not care about them and just want to make money from selling all the puppies.

The place where the dogs are kept are in horrible conditions, they are dirty and cold, the dogs live in cages and are made to have lots and lots of puppies, they are not looked after or loved, they don’t often eat and are very hungry.

Some dogs are very poorly and the puppies are poorly too, and then they are sold to lovely people who do not know how badly they are treated and then sadly the puppy dies.

Lucy’s new mummy got her away from the puppy farm and looked after her and loved her so much, but they felt sad about all the other dogs left at those horrible puppy farms. Lucy’s mummy Lisa started a campaign to stop the poor treatment and to save dogs.

So a new law comes legal on the 6th April 2020 and it’s called “Lucy’s Law” and it means, animals are to be born and looked after in a safe place and only professional people who love animals and look after them really well can sell the puppies.

If you want to buy a puppy then you must go and see the puppy with its mother and you will see if they live in a lovely home and you can ask very important questions about your new best friend.
