A Pit Bull, named Cherry, that was rescued from Michael Vicks property, gets the best day ever thanks to BarkBox and many loving people. When Cherry was initially rescued, it was obvious that he NEVER belonged where he was. His calm spirit and loving nature came through in spades! So rescuers knew that Cherry would do well in a loving home.
After intensive testing to ensure that Cherry was not a risk to anyone, he was placed in a home with a family that adores him. What Cherry represents, what he has been through, and the unwavering love he shares, proves that not only can a dog like Cherry conquer the stereotype, he can also give back so much more than he has ever had to take. His ability to trust and forgive humans is a lesson in itself. Arent dogs amazing?
Watch as Cherry gets his best day ever filled with kittens, dog-friendly ice cream sundaes and LOTS and LOTS of love.

(12,618 posts)Michael Vick is a thug and scumbag who should be in prison to this day, not making millions of dollars a year playing football. Screw the NFL for letting him back in. Vick and his associates didn't just make the dogs fight. they would drown, hang, and execute the dogs that didn't perform well (i.e. the dogs that didn't want to fight). Sheer brutality and cruelty. Screw him.

(64,411 posts)Though I have my doubts. I read right here on DU that pitbulls are evil, the antiChrist, have jaws that rival the Great White and should be nuked off the planet. So it has to be true. LOL
Oh, and fuck Micheal Vick. Still.
Love this vid, thanks Steve.

And to echo the sentiment above: FUCK MICHAEL VICK!

May Cherry find deep security and kindness every remaining day.
