A 12-year-old Maltese that survived six years in a puppy mill has beaten 10,000 canine contestants to win a dog beauty contest. She’s using her platform for good, as little Lamb Chop and her owner, Christin Schubert, are advocating for pet adoption and an end to puppy mills.
Schubert, 41, who by her own admission is more of a “cat person,” adopted Lamb Chop from Wisconsin’s Washington County Humane Society (WCHS) in December 2014. Lamb Chop, named after the famous ventriloquist Shari Lewis’s toothless puppet, stole Schubert’s heart with her story.
