Michael Vick chose the work he wanted his dogs to do, and do it until their

Gus was manually debarked as a young dog, so he won't be on the cheering side if you know what I mean.

Thank you for your post. I want to bawl my eyes out just reading it, much less seeing the scars in person.
As for this whole Vick matter, isn't the heart of it all the fact that our society
idolizes Hollywood stars, politicians, and college/pro athletes, purposely disregarding their having
no morals or common decency???
