Summary
People were shocked when the story broke about NFL player Michael Vick's brutal dogfighting operation. But what became of the dozens of dogs who survived? Expanding on Jim Gorant's Sports illustrated cover story, The lost dogs traces the effort to bring Vick to justice and turns the spotlight on these infamous pit bulls. As an ASPCA-led team evaluated each one, they found a few hardened fighters, but many more lovable, friendly creatures desperate for compassion. Here, we meet these amazing animals, a number of which are now living in loving homes, while some even work in therapy programs. At the heart of the stories are the rescue workers who transformed the pups from victims of animal cruelty into healing caregivers themselves, unleashing priceless hope
