NFL star Michael Vick wants to own a dog again and the law cannot prohibit him from doing so. The Philadelphia Eagles QB was on Piers Morgan’s show last night, and said he would like to get a dog for his kids.
After Vick served 19 months in federal prison for his part in a dog fighting ring, he was banned from owning dogs for 3 years. That ban is about to expire, and Vick thinks having a dog could be “therapeutic” for his children. He told Piers, “I can’t take that dream away from them. That’s selfish on my behalf.”
One positive? Vick says he won’t let his kids get a pit bull.
On a perhaps even more disturbing note, the overwhelming response to a poll taken by TMZ a overwhelming majority of those polled said they believed Vick should be allowed to once again won a dog.
