Vick Dog Now Helps Cancer Patients
Pit Bull Leo, rescued from NFL quarterback Michael Vick’s dogfighting ring, now brings happiness to a cancer ward and probationary center.
Despite his training as a killer, Leo is a sweetheart as he visits his friends on the ward.
“He is wonderful, and all the patients love Leo,” said Paula Reed, the facility’s oncology director. “They really love his eyes and gentleness.”
I remember crying over the poor dogs who were seized from Vick’s property with a terrible past and little hope for a future after the story broke. Hearing about their rehabilitation makes my heart feel full. Thank you to all the rescuers who gave these unfortunate souls a second chance.

This is a wonderful story!! What a sweet boy, and he was being trained to be a killer. This is the prime example of the saying ‘ There are no bad dogs, only bad owners’ and M Vick was one of the worst! It really makes my heart happy to see this dog having such a great life now!!! Bless all of the rescue folks who would not let these dogs be put down— they have saved some very special souls!
What a great story. We love to see updates on these dogs who were so horribly treated by Vick and his buddies. This sweet boy could be a poster boy to show the evils of BSL. As the previous poster stated…bless the rescue folks who never give up. Have a wonderful life sweet boy…you are now safe from harm.
what a wonderful dog .Michael Vick should be ashamed of himself these dogs have a second chance and its wonderful to see that dogs are so special even after being treated the way they were thankyou who ever saved these dogs
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story with all of us. It’s so nice to hear something positive for a change. There’s alot of things I’d like to say but I don’t feel this is the appropriate place to voice them. But I can’t help but ask… Did Michael Vick ever take the time out to visit cancer patients?
Praise God something good came out of such a horrific situation. Thanks for bringing this story to us!
What a great story! I’m so glad they were given a second chance. They are the innocent ones in all this mess.
Just sorry the other eight that were killed weren’t allowed their own second chance.
That’s great!!
Well Well Well…. Now. Who says Pits should be banned? This right here shows, that Pits are all innocent. Behind every Monstrous Pit… There’s a Monstrous Human…Thats what i go by XD.
