Former Michael Vick dog now a therapy dog

This was just too sweet and uplifting not to share - one of the pit bulls confiscated when authorities broke up Michael Vick's dogfighting operation now works as a therapy dog for cancer patients. I absolutely love the concept of therapy dogs, and would love to one day have one so that I can do this work. What is great about this story is that whatever mistreatment the dog received, he was able to overcome it and now his "job" is to give and receive love. All the abuse he suffered didn't harm his spirit. I am thankful to the various people and organizations that gave many of these dogs a second chance. I wonder if this dog performed poorly as a fighter?

One thing I appreciate is the way the trainer points out that when dogs (whatever the breed) misbehave, the owner should be held responsible.

Here is the story from NPR:
