Michael Vicks Dogs to star in Reality Show..

A new season of a reality show on the National Geographic Channel will follow the rehabilitation of several dogs that were rescued from the Virginia dogfighting operation once headed by football star Michael Vick.

The channel said Monday that it will begin filming Dogtown with a focus on 22 dogs rescued after the arrest of the jailed Atlanta Falcons quarterback.

Dogtown is the name of a Best Friends no-kill animal sanctuary in Utah, where the dogs are cared for in an attempt to resocialize them as pets. The series will focus on four of the toughest cases, all pitbulls.

Dogtown recently launched its first season January 4th. The series is currently in production on the new episodes, which will premiere in the summer.

Vick hit with 23-month prison sentence

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison today for his role in the inhumane treatment of dogs he owned for a dog fighting club. Despite the sentence, he could be out of jail in as few as three months for good behavior.

After Vick apologized to the court and his family, Hudson told him: “You need to apologize to the millions of young people who looked up to you.”

“Yes, sir,” Vick answered.

The 27-year-old player acknowledged using “poor judgment” and added, “I’m willing to deal with the consequences and accept responsibility for my actions.”

Vick was denied any credit for taking responsibility for his crime. Hudson agreed with a federal probation officer’s finding that Vick had lied about his hands-on killing of dogs and about his drug use. Vick tested positive for marijuana Sept. 13, violating conditions of his release while he awaited sentencing.

Bank Sues Michael Vick For Unpaid Loans

Vick Bought Cars Through Bank For Car Rental Business

An Indiana bank has sued embattled Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for not repaying loans involving a car rental business.

South Bend-based 1st Source Bank claimed in a federal lawsuit that it had suffered damages of at least $2 million as Vick and Divine Seven of Atlanta refused to pay for the vehicles.

Documents filed in U.S. District Court in South Bend on Wednesday said Vick signed loan agreements as the chief financial officer of Divine Seven, which bought at least 130 vehicles through 1st Source Bank loans.

A phone call Friday to a number listed on loan documents for Divine Seven was answered by a clerk at a Payless Car Rental office in Atlanta. The Associated Press left a message there for Art Washington, who signed some of the loan documents as Divine Seven's chief executive officer.
