Pitbulls VicKtory Dogs remarkable progress Kidwell Prod..wmv

As the last sentence was handed down Jan. 25, 2008, to the fourth and final co-defendant in the Michael Vick dogfighting scandal, the majority of the dogs seized from Vicks Bad Newz Kennels last year in Surry County, Va., have emerged from what many speculated would be a certain death sentence for the former fighting dogs.
Of the more than 50 pit bulls seized from Vicks property, 48 were determined to be safe around people, according to the nonprofit group BAD RAP (Bay Area Dog lovers Responsible About Pit bulls) that helped evaluate the dogs. Twenty-two of the dogs were sent to Best Friends Animal Society, a 33,000-acre animal sanctuary in southern Utah where staffers are working to rehabilitate and socialize the dogs in an effort to one day place them into permanent homes. Best Friends reports that the dogs are doing well in their new surroundings and are now referred to as the Vicktory dogs.
The remaining dogs have been placed with several other rescue groups and foster homes in various locations around the country.

These pictures and song really belong together. I have watched every video you have made and as I watch them my heart feels like it is being squeezed.Thank you special people for taking the time and effort into moulding these dogs into family members. I just wish I could reach out and hug you and all the dogs. Finally, someone gave these dogs a chance to prove how perfect they are.

@countrycache1 thank you so much for your awesome and kind words..and thank you for viewing my videos. that really means alot to me. These dogs proved to everyone who doubted them that they are worthy of a chance yet so many eyes were unopened..I guess thats a big reason I try to keep their progress and faces in my videos. I never want them to ever be forgotten..They are THE BREED AMBASSADORS to me...thank you again, sherry

This is an outstanding video! I've watched all of yours, and they are all very well-done, but this is your best! Thank you for making them, but, more, thank you for caring so much about these amazingly brave and wonderful souls. It's always so uplifting to me to see when others care so much about the same thing as me - saving/rescuing creatures that cannot protect themselves. It brings me hope.

OMG - what a great song to use for these wonderful dogs! Can't help but get teary-eyed. Terrific video!

So beautiful! Why these dogs gave humans a second chance, I'll never know. It breaks my heart to know what they went through. I am not as forgiving as these precious pups. Rot in hell, Michael Vick and all your brethren.

Great video!

It really made me misty eyed. I'm so glad that many of the dogs from that awful case could end up happy. :)
