Some good news for a change - "Beaten-down dog from Vick case has his day"

[frebrd]

It's a dog's life. And for Leo it couldn't be better.

Leo - rescued from heavy chains that confined him as one of the pit bulls in former NFL quarterback Michael Vick's dogfighting ring - is a lover, not a fighter. He now happily frolics in a clown collar as he makes the rounds at the Camino Infusion Center, where he brings comfort to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Six months ago, Leo should have been dead.

When officers raided Vick's Bad Newz Kennels in Smithfield, Va., last year, they found dogs, some injured and scarred, chained to buried car axles. Forensic experts discovered remains of dogs that had been shot with a .22-caliber pistol, electrocuted, drowned, hanged or slammed to the ground for lacking a desire to fight.

1. I think they should have put Vick in the ring with one of the better fighters. He disgusts me.

Glad to hear one of them is making it.
