Watch this heartwarming PBS video of what's happened to Vick's dogs:

I don't post that to get into a debate about Pits. I understand that they engender very strong reactions. I just think the love and care that's gone into rehabilitating these dogs is fantastic. I also think it's incredible that their rescue was the result of another dog's police work. Yay for our four-legged friends and those who work to protect and care for them.

Indy, thank you SO much for posting that. Seeing things like that really restores my faith in humanity, that there are enough people out there who care about that breed and want them to be viewed as the good dogs they are. It just strengthens my desire to be a guardian to a pit bull all the more.

You're welcome. I wanted to reach through my computer and give all those dogs and their humans a huge hug. Bless their hearts.

Where are you in the adoption process?

in adoption limbo, actually.

I decided that I'm just not at the right place (literally and figuratively) to be a doggy mama right now. I have 2 older, needy cats and one frequent visitor cat (mom's), and am not home a whole lot. I'm sure the right one will come along eventually when the time is right (when I least expect it!)

Well, best of luck with it when the timing is right! It'll be a lucky dog!

That's a great story. Thank you for posting it. A friend of mine who runs her own sanctuary in NM spent a week volunteering at Best Friends a few months after the Vick dogs arrived, and her report wasn't so positive at the time--but time indeed heals many wounds, and it's good to hear almost all of those dogs have a genuine future.
