Hey all, so I know that everyone has heard about Michael Vick, well here's the silver lining:

I hope the link works because I love when people are shown that pit bulls are not vicious dogs. I hope all these dogs live long happy lives and hopefully forget their terrible past.

It's a little long, but worth reading.

Me too. I have a Pit that I took in as an abandoned stray over three years ago...and nearly dead from starvation and dehydration. Didn't really need another dog...I had 10 at the time...but I couldn't have slept nights if I'd turned my back on him. He's a big snugglepup, and an absolute clown. Silly over kids, and the smaller they are, the goofier he gets.

If anything happened to him, I'd miss him a lot...and the comic relief that he lends to every situation.

I have to add that I wish for Mr. Vick absolutely no success in his future endeavors unless and until he's redeemed himself tenfold by donating a chunk of his earnings to the American Humane Society, and donated a few hundred hours community service in a Pit Bull rescue organization...so that he can come to understand what sort of dogs they really are.

i think that man should have received some of the treatment he gave his dogs then he would know what it felt like, animals are like human beings and they just want to be loved. pitbulls are lovable in all way as any other dog. what people need to do is start treating them right!
