Dogs of Summer 4: Our DACA Dog

Two, cute, 4-legged furry foreigners:   
Café
lives in a lovely home (converted from a barn) located in a small town about 4 hrs from Paris.  He is owned by our daughter's good friend, Jeremy, whom she visited in July.
HONEY was purchased as a puppy (cheap!) in Mexico by people from Indiana and crossed the border into our country with them during the very early days of Spring, 2017. We jokingly refer to her as our DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) dog, hahaha ... j/k...

She eventually trotted into our lives at the end of May. Till we got her, we had no idea how relatively easy it is for a Dog, 4 months and older, to cross the border into the USA from Mexico.  A possible side-benefit of NAFTA, perhaps?

Also, how many other designer and/or pure-bred dogs sold in the USA are from inexpensive Mexico-based breeders?  Dig deeper into your purchase of a cute Pooch and you might be in for a surprise.
