That's some of it for me. Family is family......a dog is a dog. I've had dogs my entire life and some that I miss to this day but they weren't and never will be my kids. They were pets. What Vick did was dead wrong....I would never condone that but he went to prison and has turned his life around. When someone does something people often say " I hope he gets the help he needs" and yet when this guy does get the help he needs people are willing to make him pay for the rest of his life for it. How many other athletes have done worse but don't get the same cold shoulder?I am sure my forgiveness or lack of, does not keep him awake. I think some people do not realize the attachment others have to dogs. A dog only wants to be loved and love back. I have seen people hit dogs only to see the same dog come back to that person seeking affection. If you dont understand it it's ok. People are different. There are more than likely things out there that I could forgive that you couldnt. when my dog died when I was 1w I was devastated. I still have his picture on my fridge. When my last dog died 2 years ago in may it was like losing a child. My dogs are my family.
