Michael Vicks Dogs - One Year Later

Really great follow up article on the Pit Bulls rescued from Michael Vick's fighting operation.

That's a great story! Some good came out of the horrible tragedy.

That give me some warm fuzzies and hooray to all the rescue people who fostered and worked with these abused dogs.

I'd forgotten that Pete the Pup was a pitbull.

How cool. It sounds like these people know what they're doing- it's true that pits need a bit more supervision than most other dogs, but if you're aware and responsible they can be a great family dog. People ask me if our dogs bite, and I tell them they never have- but that doesn't mean they never will. I'm not a pit bull fan, but I don't like to see them destroyed because of human stupidity either. I love the fact that Vick has to pay for their maintenance- may they live very, very long lives!

Ummm.... Do your dogs like Aussies ???? *gulp*

Our dogs love everyone, Lash- especially Bears.

As a matter of fact, Mellie is part Aussie Shep, part Akita, all lovebug. Give her a Scooby snack and she's your bestest buddy.

Best Friends in Kanab is a cool shelter. If you're ever in the area it is worth a tour.

Pit Bulls don't bit any more often than many other dogs. It's just when they do, it is more dangerous because of the strong jaws.
