Ozzy Ozburne bid $10,000 at a charity event last week to get this little Yorkshire Terrier pup for his wife Sharon. The bidding started at $5,000 but Ozzy made sure he outbid everyone to get the pup. The event was the the 13th Annual Design Care, an event that benefits Robinson Peete's HollyRod Foundation. The evening featured a live auction and helps families coping with autism and Parkinson's disease.

 

There are many states who are making it illegal to auction or raffle a puppy or dog and I certainly support those efforts as they are a disposal method for puppy mills and far too often a raffle is won by someone who didn't really want the prize and no dog should be subjected to that start in life. Check out www.banohiodogauctions.com to learn more about the efforts to stop the auctions.

 

Having said that - I think that Ozzy and Sharon getting this pup is wonderful. Anyone who saw any of the episodes of their reality program knows that these two are true animal lovers and this pup (named Ozzy of course) will lead a very pampered life.
