Dogfighter Michael Vick wants a new pet puppy

Michael Vick isn’t exactly what comes to mind when you think of a dog lover. Nevertheless, the man convicted of running a brutal dogfighting ring -- where dogs were allegedly beaten, hanged, electrocuted, and starved -- now wants to get a pet puppy for his kids. Although the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has been prohibited from having one for the last three years since his release, the ban is about to expire and last night he told Piers Morgan he thought it'd be "therapeutic" for the children. Go ahead and get a dog, Michael. Just don't expect us to bring our labs over for a doggy play date. [Source]
