Michael Vick Bankrupt - Vick Dogs Live it Up

Michael Vick was forced to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy from Leavenworth after convictions on dog fighting charges derailed his career.

The Vick fighting dogs, though, are living the high life.

[T]he 49 pit bulls seized from Vick's Bad Newz Kennel in Surry County are living the high life. Many experts said that the former fighting dogs should be euthanized, but, instead, a judge ordered each dog individually evaluated. As a result, only one was deemed too vicious to help; another had to be put down because it was sick.

In fact, the disbursal of the Bad Newz Kennel has been Good Newz for the dogs and researchers, who are studying the pits to find out just if and how these gladiators can be rehabilitated.

Of the 47 surviving dogs, 22 are at an animal sanctuary in Utah, and 25 went to foster homes. One is now a gentle therapy dog, another is in training for "flying disc" competitions, and others have happily adapted to family life, reports The Washington Post.
