Michael Vick Wants A Pet Dog
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Michael Vick is barred from owning a dog for a year and a half, but the star quarterback’s comment that he’d like to bring one into his house generated renewed outrage—and support.
The convicted dogfighting ring operator told the news site TheGrio.com that he genuinely cares about animals and would like to have one for a pet again.
“I think it would be a big step for me in the rehabilitation process,” he said.
Vick has made similar statements before, but this time it seemed to have grabbed the world’s attention. For example, the gambling website Bodog.com is offering bets on what breed of dog Vick might own in the next two years.
Vick served 18 months in prison after being convicted in 2007. A federal judge also sentenced him to three years probation, ending in May 2012. One of the terms: He could not own dogs during that time.
