It’s been almost a decade since the scandal surrounding Michael Vick and his involvement in an illegal dogfighting ring in Virginia grabbed the nation’s attention. However, the dogs who were saved have not been forgotten and now their story is being told in a new film.

At the time the case stirred a lot of outrage and raised questions about how to move forward, dividing the animal welfare community. Should they be killed? Could they be rehabilitated? Could they ever be adopted?

Some said they were too damaged and dangerous and should be killed. Others fought valiantly for their lives, and they won, forever changing what happens in the aftermath of a bust.

Of the survivors, 10 of the more adoptable dogs went to BADRAP in California, while 22 of the most traumatized dogs went to Best Friends Animal Society in Utah where they would start over in new lives. Later they would become known as the Vicktory Dogs.
