The first Vicktory dog is being adopted! Woohoo! Sound the bells, toss the confetti! Halle the Vicktory dog proves once and for all that not only does every dog deserve a second chance, but she can take that chance and run with it to a happy ending of epic proportions. Her life now is totally backwards and opposite in every possible way from her days before as part of Michael Vick’s dogfighting ring. Good for her!

“DOGGIES” ON THE HUFFINGTON POST
Monday, February 9th, 2009
Today, the Huffington Post, published another one of my stories, this time on the issue of Animal Cruelty and our “I’m Tired of Animal Cruelty” bracelet and involvement with Best Friends Animal Society and “Dogtown“. In case some of you aren’t familiar with the Huffington Post, it is a huge deal for us. They are one of the most popular news sites on the internet and it is quite the honor to be asked to write for them.
Please click through and check out the article, called “For the Love of Doggies.” Comment on it because comments are important in catapulting us into popular stories, become a fan of my blog and, by all means, pass it on to everyone you think might be interested. That’s how our effort will grow!

THE CAST OF “DOGTOWN” AND THE “VICKTORY” DOGS ARE WEARING OUR BRACELETS!
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009
As dog lovers and huge fans of National Geographic Channel’s “Dogtown,” you can probably imagine how excited Dan and I were when the cast got behind our “I’m Tired of Animal Cruelty” bracelet. They’re all wearing them!
Not only that, but they recently wore them in a photo shoot for the show with some of the 22 “Vicktory” dogs they rescued and rehabilitated from Michael Vick’s abuse. Even the dogs are sporting cool “I’m Tired of Animal Cruelty” dog collars that we made especially for them. “Dogtown” takes place at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, our charity beneficiary for the “I’m Tired of Animal Cruelty” bracelets. We wanted to share some of the great photos from the shoot.
Above, from left to right, are Animal Training and Behavioral Consultant, Sherry Woodard, with Ellen, Assistant Dog Care Manager, John Garcia, with Georgia, and Veterinarian Dr. Patti Iampietro with Denzel.
Directly right are Dr. Mike Dix, Medical Director, with Handsome Dan, Dog Care Manager, Michelle Besmehn, with Ray, and Trainer Pat Whitacre with Lucas.
Look for the cast to be wearing their bracelets on the show when the new season of “Dogtown” premiers in March.
