By coincidence mum and me watched a documentary last night about Vick's dogs and their rehabilitation at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. It was heart rending. There was one in particular called Cherry who was so 'cowed' he couldn't walk on a lead. It left my mum virtually speechless. She was really shocked. I was pretty shaken too. I guess dogs like me live in a bubble 'cause all I've known is love. I'm one lucky dog. I think I'm going to do a post about it. I think this disgusting man should have got life, never mind anything else:(
ReplyDeleteThat just galls me! I wish they were putting him in an isolation cell ( think "Papillon" - hey, that's appropriate!

My daughter lives in Georgia and we happened to be visiting when all of this came down with Vick. Yuck. Sometimes I think an eye for eye would be appropriate -- such as putting Vick in a similar situation as he did those dogs. Not very nice of me, but . . .
