Evaluations show 48 of Vick's dogs have placement potential

Associated Press - October 1, 2007 6:45 PM ET

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A motion filed in U.S. District Court today suggests that all but 1 of the 49 remaining pit bulls seized from a home owned by NFL star Michael Vick at the outset of a dogfighting investigation has placement potential.

The motion says 1 of the pit bulls has a history of biting people and being aggressive. It recommends that dog be euthanized. It says the rest could go anywhere from foster care as a first step towards adoption to extensive treatment for antisocial behavior. Some even could be candidates for training for law enforcement work. [This references LawDogsUSA]

The findings in the motion are based on the recommendations of dog behavior experts that examined the dogs and how they behave in the company of people and other animals.

The experts were assembled by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The motion now goes before U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson.
Last year we met a wonderful dog named "Taz" (above). Taz was brought to us by HugABull pit bull rescue in British Columbia, Canada. Taz was accepted into a WSP bomb dog class, but unfortunately he lacked the intense focus needed for detection work. He was such a friendly, wonderful dog I was hopeful he would find a home. The great folks at HugABull took him back and thanks to the special efforts of Katie Ernst, Taz has found a wonderful home! He is now a much loved member of the Lumsden family.

From near death to top dog

A nose for drugs

MARYSVILLE, Wash. – A Washington State Patrol drug detection dog has just received a prestigious award. Moto is a canine with a nose for drugs.

But that's a world away from where he was found in Oregon a few years ago during an animal cruelty investigation.

"He was kept in a dog travel crate, in about 2 inches of feces and urine, and he was pretty bad off. He was almost dead," recalled his WSP partner, Trooper Jason Knott.

Moto was rescued by a group called "Law Dogs USA" in Olympia. They take pit bulls like Moto who show promise, and train them to be drug detection dogs.

"…very gentle and docile. He loves to hunt and find the items that we're trained to find," said Knott.

And find them he does. Nearly 400 finds have led the State Veterinary Association to induct Moto into their Hall of Fame.

Trooper Kirk Rudeen says the award is well deserved.

"The dog, with his sense of smell which is so acute, can find numerous things in the car that we would've missed," he said.

But it's not just Moto's nose that makes him special. It's his non-stop drive.

"At the end of the night, I actually have to physically pull him out of the car because he doesn't want to quit working. That's all he wants to do," said Knott.
