Under an agreement among federal officials, Best Friends and rescue groups that accepted the other Bad Newz refugees, kept them pretty much under wraps until the final Vick-related case was closed January 25. From now on, Best Friends will no longer refer to them generically as the Vick fighting dogs, but as the Vicktory dogs, with their own names and unique personalities.

Members of the national media have been invited to the sanctuary on January 28 from 11 am to 1:45 pm CST to meet and learn about the dogs. They'll be able to interview key Best Friends staff members, observe our staff interacting with the dogs and, in the process, see how friendly these animals are toward humans.
