Michael Vick’s Dogs Get Some FRESH AIR

NFL star Michael Vick was arrested for operating a dogfighting ring, but what happened to the 51 pit bulls that were seized? Turns out all but two were rehabilitated, despite having been abused and tortured.

John Gorant, a writer for Sports Illustrated, has followed the 49 surviving dogs and wrote a book about them, The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick’s Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption. It was featured on Fresh Air last night and rose on Amazon’s sales rankings to #14 as a result.

    Such a moving, powerful book! It’s not a cozy read, but it is not filled with despair and pain, either. Though we read about what these poor animals suffered, we get the joy of seeing them saved and redeemed. I loved this book!
