Vick wishes he could have dogs again

Animal lovers, would you want Michael Vick to have dogs again? Tuesday, he was telling Newark, N.J. school kids he wishes he could have a dog and hopes to eventually.Vick also told them why dogfighting is bad. It is about the sixth appearance his made to talk about his dogfightint days, according to this story on NBCNewYork.com.

Raising and training pit bulls on his rural Virginia home got Vick booted out of the NFL for two years straight, landing him straight into the federal pen at Leavenworth.

"I wish I could have a dog right now more than anything in the world," Vick admitted while acknowledging that his judge has banned him from owning dogs after a lifetime spent with the animals.

["I wants a dog even mo' dan I wants white wimmins."]

"My goal now is to help more animals than I hurt and help turn a negative situation in a positive," he added.

His New Jersey appearance was about the sixth he's made with the Humane Society of the United States since his release from prison and house arrest back in July. And there will be more.

"He's said he will do this for many years," said Humane Society President Wayne Pacelle.
Pacelle said Vick's appearances are voluntary, not part of any parole.

"I should have known better," Vick admitted to a couple of hundred kids at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Newark.

He said he's hopeful one day he'll have a dog again. "I don't know when that day is going to come. It's up to my judge at his discretion," he said.
