Unfortunately, the puppy would have been better off if the Michael Vick who purchased him had been the football player. If that were the case, he would only be starved, abused, and used in illegal dogfights. But the Michael Vick who did buy the puppy had far worse things in mind. Yes, his plans were to give the puppy a mega-dose of Vick's Nyquil and have him (shudder!!!) operate machinery!
