Vick to get sentence shortened?

Interesting article. I just assumed Vick's dogs had been euthanized long ago already.

I did too. I wonder how many of them are really and truly going to be adoptable. It would have to be an owner who REALLY understands how to control their animal.

We rescued a dog 3 months ago and have started obedience classes (10-20 wk course). LOTS of work - especially when you don't know the breed, age, background, etc. It was a bit of a risk but he's doing pretty good (mostly house-trained, on a schedule, learning tricks, very friendly - loves attention, a bit too much energy with other dogs though).

I hope somebody out there will rehab those dog's of MV (and then send him the bill).

I think the tests found 3. (that's it!) dogs who are suitable for adoption based on temperment tests. its not about controlling an animal or knowng how ... at thisbpoint in their lives these dogs cannot be broke to establish alpha.

I have two pit bulls and they will lick you to death but I've had them since week two and have had to raise them very sternly--even get comments from people with poodles or whatnot about how I'm doing it wrong. these animals have the potential to kill anything and it takes education and a strong approach to make them pets.

its sad, I love pits more than anyne but dogs who have fought--even once--need to be put down

According to the article, the ones they deemed unadoptable are in a no-kill sanctuary (I missed exactly where this place is, though).
