In 2007, a group of dogs were saved from organized torture in NFL
player Michael Vick’s backyard. His dog fighting ring was liberated and
he was put in jail for his atrocities.
Many people believed that the dogs found at his house weren’t fit to
live in homes, because of their killer instincts. That just isn’t true,
and the Best Friends Animal Society
agrees. They took in 22 dogs, which became known as “Vicktory Dogs.”
They were saved from that horrible place… and found loving, amazing
homes. They found ‘victory’ in love.
Here are their stories.
Many people believed the dogs were too “damaged” to find proper homes.
Those rescued pooches proved everyone wrong. Best Friends Animal
Sanctuary took in 22 dogs and set out to prove that these dogs could be
turned around.
3.) Halle: No one should give up on rescued dogs just because of
their past. Halle now lives with two dog brothers and constantly plays
with them. She wags her tail, frolics and “play fights” – all without
incident. She is truly a lovely dog.
4.) Handsome Dan: When Dan was first rescued, he was very skittish
and fearful. Now, he is warm and trusting. He even acts as a perfectly
behaved babysitter for his human baby sister, who arrived in 2010. Not
many people realize how loving pit bulls can be.
6.) Oliver: When this dog was brought home, he had no fear. He was
so willing to let his new family love him, even though in his original
evaluation it was said that he was very fearful of people. Oliver would
jump on his mom Erika’s lap and shower her with kisses.
7.) Squeaker: Even though Squeaker was involved in a vicious dog
fighting ring, you’d never know it. Now, she lovingly lives with her
family and 6 additional dogs, who all get along together.
9.) Oscar: Oscar’s mom, Rachel, didn’t mean to adopt a Vicktory dog,
she just wanted a pit bull. But adopting Oscar was one of the best
decisions she made. She not only gave him a new home, but supports other
rescued dogs by interacting with the community.
Help the ASPCA raise dog fighting awareness by
sharing this article. No dogs are “natural killers,” with vicious
instincts. Humans teach them those barbaric behaviors… and humans can
put an end to it.
