Vicktory dog Curly passes away at age 13, less than two months after his best friend, Mya
By JULIE CASTLE October 23, 2019
2019 has been a tough year for the Vicktory dogs and for all of us who love them. None of the 22 Michael Vick dogs — who will forever be known as the Vicktory dogs — were puppies when they came to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Now that more than 11 years have passed, most of them have succumbed to age or health issues. Each loss is heartbreaking to everyone who knew the dogs personally at the Sanctuary, to their families and to the thousands of people who felt like they knew them through social media.
Since the day they arrived at the Sanctuary in January 2008, the dogs have traveled an incredible road of hope and healing. Their impact on the world has been immeasurable. Prior to the work done with the Vicktory dogs, it was standard practice for all dogs rescued from fighting rings to be deemed inherently dangerous, with no chance to demonstrate otherwise, and they were simply killed. Curly and the rest of the Vicktory dogs proved to the world that that was not the case — that dogs rescued from fighting rings can and do go on to live meaningful and beautiful lives. They were heroes, and thousands of dogs from similar circumstances or with similar looks owe their lives and their happy homes to Curly and his friends.
