PHILADELPHIA – Michael Vick bought a new dog – a beagle!
NFL star and current starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, Michael Vick, made headlines three years ago when he was convicted of dogfighting. Well, now he’s bought a new dog – it’s a beagle for the Eagle!
As part of Vick’s dogfighting sentence, a judge banned Vick from owning a dog ever again. But there are three reasons the judged changes his mind and rescinded the ban: 1) Though injured, Vick is doingwell as an NFL quarterback, thrilling NFL fans with his play; 2) Vick has won over the hearts and minds of the citizens of The City of Brotherly Love; and 3) Vick’s daughters really want a dog. “Ah, come on, we can’t deny the girls a dog,” said Judge Herman Wilton of West Virginia.
After the judge announced his decision, Vick immediately ent out and bought a cute, little beagle. He named the dog, HutHut.
Here they are together on the gridiron:
Vick thinks that having HutHut as a pet is a big step in his rehabilitation process.
“Having a pet in my household, shows people that I care for animals.”
William Tacatoo, president of the Humane Society of the Pennsylvania, says he has been around Vick a good deal over the last two years and feels confident Vick would be a great pet owner. “He loves dogs, he really does.”
“I will take good care of HutHut in my household. If they want to monitor me doing it, hey can,” said Vick, who noted that when he was growing up in Virginia he had many dogs, ranging from a beagle to a mixed breed.
Since being released, Vick has made appearances on behalf of the Humane Society as well as addressing various students groups on the lessons he’s learned.
“HutHut will live a happy life,” Vick said. “I know that. He will be the happiest beagle on earth.”
WWN wishes the Eagle and the Beagle good luck… safe home.
we are watching you Michael……
It's just like Chris Brown nearly beating the life out of Rhianna – if you're not white you get a free pass.
OMG….Well maybe we should just give all child molesters a kid, I honestly cant believe this
I have a T-Shirt that came out after he was arrested and it says "Hide your Beagle…Vicks an Eagle"
You dont just wake up one morning and kill dogs, this means you have a wire loose and you are CRAZY… the serial killers of the world always start off by killing animals
You cant Re-Hab that
Just another case of money talks and bullshit walks! Did people forget about the “pets” he fought, beat, and killed?? Sounds to me like the judge got a “donation” to change his ruling… and i thought an appeal was needed to attept to change a court ruling… what about that??
[...] however, with the judge’s reasoning for allowing him to get a dog after all. According to the Weekly World News, his reasons were purportedly as follows: 1) Though injured, Vick is doing well as an NFL [...]
If Vick didn't get caught he'd still be doing the same thing. What a publicity stunt. ..and shame on you, HSUS for buying into this fairy tale.
Does anyone know who the judge is that gave in to his demands?
wonder if he'll hang, drown, electrocute, then beat it's on concrete til it's dead too.. lowlife piece of crap like him doesn't deserve the love of ANY dog.. as for his girls wanting a dog Vick needs to sit down and explain to them that daddy beat and forced them to fight to the death.. poor dog that's all i can say..
Vick's an Eagle – Hide ALL the Beagles!!!!!!
Oh My God. I think I am going to be sick.
This appears to be a fake news site. Hope so.
I hear Gary Ridgeway wants to be set free so he can start a counseling program. Maybe someone should give him the name of this judge. I am sure Ridgeway feels he has been rehabilitated too.
Vick is a monster and he should be made to read what he did to those poor defenseless animals every night before he goes to bed. I cannot believe the guy actually has kids. What kind of woman could know what he did and not make a move to protect her children?
My stomach turns…
The woman is like alot of people she is all about the money and could care less.
Don't you people have proofreaders for your garbage?
I'm vomiting as I sit here with tears running down my face. A convicted "dog" killer – I'm so sick. How can this happen and have it be justice…… Never to have a dog again – means never to have a dog again. Yet, money does talk and I don't trust the justice system when things like this happen. I feel for the poor pup. Huthut needs our prayers. Prayers that the judge overturns this virdict and he can find a new home where he is safe. This judge should be ashamed of himself. And as far as his following – how about how he gets hurt every game just about. How he gets sacked. And I thought I read that he was being traded to the Seahawks because he was out so much with injuries. I'm sickened and I hope this judge reads all these. And I hope he can sleep tonight also. Pray pray for this little dog.
I totally agree with you,he should never be able to own any fur friend
he's also the guy that slammed a dogs head over and over into the ground until it died because the dog lost a fight. not caring how much pain that dog was in and how confused that dog was that the person he loved with all his/her heart was killing him/her. he also drowned dogs for losing. this man is doesnt deserve to own an ant. he can apolpgize all he wants but a killer will always be a killer.
Hope poor little HutHut doesn’t end up as a bate dog like so many other cute little beagles MV
had!
This is a Joke right….? No this has to be a joke….No really this is a joke because look at the picture of the dog it's a cut and paste….And the spelling is off just like in the scam emails…Right . I really do hope that this is a Joke…….No judge can be that stupid……He didnt become media blinded did he?
…..Okay someone please tell me this was a joke………
The beagle is also trying to kick his Three Packs a Day habit, I suppose?? :/
Too bad Jeffrey Dahlmer is dead. Maybe we could have him rehab in Vicks house along with Vick and his 2 daughters since everyone is so confident all some one has to do is say they've changed. Maybe we could find another serial killer / rapist to stick in his house.
Dont worry guys. I felt angry too. It's just a hoax.
The worst case of photoshopping, too! ☺
In China they eat dog meat and love it.
no they don't, you idiot.
Yes they do …. But the relevance to this story is what?
Dogs are abused, skinned beaten, burned and treated appaling ly all over the world. Rathwer than sitting here commenting on obvious bullsh*t stories get down to your local shelter and ask How Can I Help?
As an animal lover,if your caught abuseing any animal,prison sentence,huge fine,never be able to own ant animal in your life time
He bought a dog. Why didn't he save one from the HSUS. They are the ones who have done much for his rehabilitation.
HSUS doesn't keep or adopt out dogs. Just an FYI. Send your donations to your LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER, not HSUS
That's what I was thinking! He went out and BOUGHT a dog? Why didnt he set a good example and RESCUE one instead?!?
Sick, just makes me sick. Reformed or not, he should NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OWN A DOG! Maybe he should have thought about his daughter while he was forcing hundreds of Beagles into slow agonizing deaths as bait dogs!
Excuse my language but F* this, I am so livid!
It's a hoax……thank God!
I am sickened at the thought of this! How disgraceful that this monster was allowed to play in the NFL again and earn $100 million plus now be allowed another dog! He should be rotting in Hell not playing football or allowed to own even a cockroach! Besides when his fighting dogs performed poorly they were brutally murdered. He has played awful this seasona and been hurt and I dont see any torture consquences for him! What a MONSTER!!!
