Re: mis representation of product

Congratulations on your new puppy. Almost certainly the fact that the seller was charged with animal cruelty does not entitle you to stop payment on your check. Even if there were some law entitling you to a free puppy based on the seller's alleged animal cruelty -- and I don't know of one -- remember they are presumed innocent until proven guilty. You can rest secure in the knowledge you may have saved a puppy from a possibly abusive environment.
