The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption by Jim Gorant

5.0

Informative, heartbreaking and inspiring. The first portion that covers the investigation and the rescue of the dogs from Vick's compound is extremely difficult to read at times, but the details are necessary to complete the dogs' journey and see how far they came. It is truly incredible that so many of them were simply goofy puppies at heart and were able to acclimate to life among other dogs and humans, and Gorant does a nice job dispelling myths about pit bulls. The portions told from the dogs' points of view are unique and very effective. The "Where Are They Now?" section is a nice touch and I like how there is an update on every single dog and person involved in the case. Gorant has clearly done an extensive amount of research and relays the events in an impartial, even-keeled manner. I may have felt ambivalent toward Vick before, but now that I know all of the facts I view him as a thug and hate how he has gotten a second chance in the NFL after the horrifying things that he did to these innocent dogs.
