Kicking back in Kanab
Michael Vick's pit bulls have got it pretty cushy in Kanab. It wouldn't take much to improve their lot, of course, when you consider many of their kennel mates got electrocuted, drowned or hanged for a poor win-loss record.

Even a loser NFL quarterback/dog-fight promoter doesn't face that — Vick got 23 months in a federal prison.

Best Friends Animal Society is determined to turn 20 of Vick's canine gladiators into
"loving couch potatoes." Vet Frank McMillan said the dogs offer a unique chance to study trauma issues and develop therapies to prepare them for adoption.

"Look at the series with Spanky and his gang,"
McMillan says. "They had a pit bull."
