An underdog’s second chance Saved from Michael Vick’s property, pit bulls now in loving homes
His back resting comfortably against her chest, Hector nestles his massive canine head into Leslie Nuccio’s shoulder, high-fiving pit bull paws against human hands.

The big dog — 52 pounds — is social, people-focused, happy now, it seems, wearing a rhinestone collar in his new home in sunny California.

But as Hector sits up, deep scars stand out on his chest, and his eyes are imploring.

“I wish he could let us know what happened to him,” says Nuccio, the big tan dog’s foster mother.

At her home in the San Francisco Bay Area, Leslie Nuccio holds Hector, a pit bull that was seized from Michael Vick's property.

Story at the link is a great story of how these dogs were found and the rescue that took place to save many of these dogs and how many are adoptable and not even dog aggresive. Amazing!
