"Quarterback Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles has gone through a lot of ups and downs in his life over the past five years. Vick served jail time for his role in illegal dog fighting and was also banned from owning a dog for three years. With that ban about to expire, Vick told Piers Morgan in an interview on July 17, 2012 that he'd like to own another dog some day. During the interview, Vick explained how he expresses his love for dogs in his new book entitled "Michael Vick: Finally Free, An Autobiography." Even though he was involved with the dog fighting ring, Vick says its not like he has a dislike for dogs. Morgan asked Vick if he will get a new dog once the ban expires next month. He responded in defense of his children: "I can’t take that dream away from them," Vick explains. "That’s selfish on my behalf. You know, so, gotta find a way to make it right and, you know, I put everything in God’s hands to make it right." That answer will likely be quite unsettling to many animal-lovers around the world. Morgan asked him what kind of dog he would like to adopt for his kids: "I would let them [his children] pick it out. Certainly wouldn’t be a pit bull," Vick replied."
