I have a friend who's husband got her a bulldog for their anniversary. He put $500 down on the dog. Total price for dog is $1800.00. The day she got the puppy it had diarrhea. She thought it was just being nervous in a new place. 2 days later it still had diarrhea and started vomiting it's food. She called the vet and they saw the puppy. They said it had cocsidia *sp?* She contacted the breeder and told her what was going on. The puppy had to be put on high dosses of antibiotics. She contacted the people again and let them know that she had already spent almost as much as the puppy cost on vet bills and meds. The breeder, in txt msg's, told her she would take the puppy back and get it well for her so she didn't have any more vet costs building up. My friend contacted the lady every day to check on this puppy. About a week into this the lady said her and her husband decided they were not going to refund her any money or give her the dog back. She said they had proof she tried to kill the puppy. I know good and well she didn't. She is a huge animal lover, this was a present from her husband, and I've seen her cry and cry over this puppy. My friend told her she needed to give her money back or return the dog to her. The lady said her money was just a deposit but that was the first time the word deposit was ever mentioned. They had just being using the term "payments"
What can she do about this?? They signed a contract but the breeder can't keep the puppy and the money!? Her husband works out of town and will be in this week. They are going to see a lawyer and maybe have a certified letter sent with copies of the texts the woman sent to her. Even if they signed a contract, could those txt msg's matter??
