Former Vick dog at St. Paul elementary school
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Students at a St. Paul elementary school will get a visit from a pit bull rescued from NFL quarterback Michael Vick's dogfighting operation.
Hector now lives in Rochester, Minn. He's scheduled to visit third-grade students at Barack and Michelle Obama Service Learning Elementary School on Tuesday.
The group A Rotta Love Plus is teaming up with third-grade teachers and staff at the school this school year to help teach students about the care and responsibility of dogs.
Hector is now a registered therapy dog. Vick has since been reinstated to the NFL following an 18-month prison sentence for his involvement in a dogfighting ring.
