I was in the Petland store this afternoon with my boyfriend. We saw a VERY small chihuahua puppy in a display with two other dogs (one larger chihuahua puppy and another small-breed dog). The small puppy was being trampled on and run into by the other two, larger, more boistrous puppies. I said something to the manager, who told me he would be fine, he just had to get used to it. Ok. We went and checked on him again a few minutes later. He was trying to walk across the enclosure, and his tiny feets were falling in between the wire grate. I was concerned that he would either fall over and break his legs or have one of the other rowdy puppies run into him and snap his leg in the grate. My boyfriend said something to the manager again, who told us he would be fine, he'd just have to get used to it. I asked how old he was, he said 8 weeks, and so were the other puppies. He really looked younger than that. I didn't feel right about this. Is this legal, if not, is there anything I can do??
