*sigh*
Well, I've dealt with this a lot. This same sort of thing, anyway. Its hard, because there is really not much you can do. You can work on the kid. You can call AC if you feel as if there isn't adequate care, or if you need a permit in your area to breed.
But, it is very, very hard to change something that is culturally accepted. I try to just work situationally, one person at a time, and educate to the best of my ability. Maybe you can make headway through that little girl.
Its awesome that you're focusing on dogs, dog care, etc. There are a lot of humane education programs out there, too. The director of our HS goes into low-income schools here and does them.
Good luck...I know its a hard fight.
