This pet shop is in the West Village in the midst of a bunch of bars, and the drunks apparently like to look at, pet or buy the puppies in its window after tying a load on. Owner says no more.

Moritz recalled selling a Chihuahua some years ago to a woman she thought might have been drunk, only to have the dog returned the next day — in a near-dead state.
"We took it to the vet and he found five pills in the dog's stomach," she said. "It almost overdosed."
The Chihuahua's stomach was pumped, and it survived.
Now Moritz and her staff are always on the lookout for intoxicated customers and won't even let those they suspect are drunk hold the puppies to keep them from being dropped.
