Harley, the tiny one-eyed Chihuahua who saved hundreds of dogs from puppy mills, was remembered in a beautiful and moving tribute during the American Humane 2016 Hero Dog Awards. Although Harley is no longer with us, his legacy lives on and the resolve to bring an end to the cruel commercial dog breeding industry has only strengthened.
The ten years Harley spent living in a small, filthy wire cage in a puppy mill were not in vain. The breeder meant for him to die there, but Harley had a dream ... and that dream would guide him on an extraordinary journey.
It's truly a rags to riches story. Harley, a little Chihuahua who has captured hearts all over the world, was invited to be a special guest at Lois Pope's 22nd annual "Lady in Red" Gala on December 5th at The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach. Harley spent the first 10 years of his life living in a small, filthy wire cage in a puppy mill. He lost his eye when his cage was cleaned with a power washer - with Harley still inside. Today he is known worldwide as a champion for puppy mill dogs.
