I'm just back from the press conference re: the dogs rescued from Michael Vick's property. Five of the Vick dogs and their handlers did cool and calm meet-and-greets, while BAD RAP reps Donna Reynolds and Tim Racer, Oakland Raider Jarrod Cooper, and Oakland Animal Services Director Adam Parascandola described the dogs' progress and the animal-welfare state of the nation to a room packed to the walls with reporters.
Round about June in The East Bay Monthly, I'll publish a story tracking these dogs in their foster homes. And we'll get to see how everyone's doing and maybe get an invitation to the full-adoption party for these long-haul survivors.
