Lisa A. Hanks argues that the pit bulls Michael Vick owned are now loving and friendly to everyone and other dogs. She claims that of the 54 Vick dogs initially seized, 49 were placed in rescue groups. Also of the remaining dogs, two were put down due to health reasons and another for aggression issues. One of the remaining dogs went into law enforcement and two passed away shortly after they were saved. Hanks develops this claim by analyzing the dogs rescued from the Michael Vick dog fighting case. She reviews a dog named Red that has lasting scars on his face and chest. She also describes the recovery of these dogs and the obstacles they faced during the rescue proccess. Lastly, the author interviews the new owners of these rescued dogs. Hanks purpose is to get people to realize that Pit Bull dogs can over come stereotypes and change from angry agressive dogs to loving and friendly companions.
