The majority of the footage for

on Chicago's north side.

Chicagoans involved in dogfighting were given the opportunity to attend dog school.

This documentary will make your heart soar!

Notice in the video at 9:23 Jim walks his shepard past all the pit bulls.
Folks, it was only the third week of class when he did that!!!

Jim Morgan and Jeff Jenkins are amazing dog trainers. Not all dog schools will be able to implement this type of program. But Jim and Jeff made it look easy.

this video is so full of bull shit first not one real fighting dog on their all these dogs where curs not true bred game dogs prove to me that any one of them was most where red nose cur or mix blood lucky if any one paid more than 50 for any of these curs AND WHY DO YOU

fordgt550,

You need to educate yourself about dogfighting in Chicago. There are 3 levels of dogfighting. Children as young as 11 fight dogs in Chicago. You think an 11 year old cares whether the dog is pure bred or not?

They didn't pay ANY money for their dogs. This video isn't about "pure bred pitbulls." It's about the brutal crime of dogfighting. They sometimes fight dogs that AREN'T pit bull at all.

:) Inspiring documentary! You don't get to see stories like this at all. Everything about it, the change in attitudes, the change of heart, the change in the great dogs themselves.

WOW 5*****'s To everyone involved

~ Keep on, keepin on'!

fordg550 - This isn't about the breed of dogs, this is about the very serious and brutal crime of dog fighting and everything that is involved with it. Research clearly has proven a link between animal abuse,dog fighting, child abuse, domestic violence and violence in general. Children are exposed to this activity at young age and become desensitized to the cruelty and abuse involved. They are also exposed to gambling, drugs, weapons and violence that come along with these gangs.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tio, through a dog named Roscoe @ the Barking Lot, when I lived in Chicago. Great man!

@MrMexico709 ...WTF.....ITS IGNORANCE LIKE YOURS THAT MAKE THE FIGHT FOR THE APBT SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT REALLY HAS TO BE...FACT...THE APBT DOSENT HAVE A HIGHER RESISTANCE TO PAIN...I KNOW ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND ME MR MEXICO AS IM NOT FLUENT IN MORON AS YOU ARE!!!!!

[kdk782]

Yes, I know they are young. I also know that they rubber band the ears then cut off their ears. My big question is, where are the wonderful parents that lived int the housing projects, cost the taxpayers money and NOT teaching their childrens anything except violence. Read about Hitler (if you can get the OLD books that their scientist wrote) about his genic experiments (which are ahead of the USA) pertaining to these dogs. You will be saurprized! Uneducated people do this to animals.

[MrMexico709]

@kdk782 they are black ppl. enought said.

[MrMexico709]

@ndon6148 sorry, these type and all types of dogs were breed to do a job. Yes these dogs do feel pain, but there pain level is way way higher then say a setter. Just the setter, they can track and hunt way way better then a pitt. Sorry man your the ignorant one to think that way. that like going to pick out a dog in a line up with blind fold on.

@MrBigoutlaw I could not agree more. Bless you.

[MrBigoutlaw]

The first thing Vick said when he found out he would be charged was "who do I have to pay to make this go away". He had no remorse nor did he care about the dogs. The only reason he stopped was that he got CAUGHT!...it went on for 7 yrs. He didnt do enough prison time to make a difference. He should have received 10 years..now he makes an obscene amount of money and yes, he is, just ghetto trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ndon6148]

@Bruteshot .GHETTO TRASH WITH 20 MILLION......JUST BUYS HIM BETTER FRIENDS!!!!!!!...HES STILL GHETTO TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bruteshot]

@ndon6148 Michael Vick sure got his... HE JUST was franchised this past week. For you idiots who don't know what that means, it means Vick will be making 20 million dollars in one season, LMAO. Vick wins. The dogs are dead. They lose.
