The Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy is a canine plaything in the likeness of Michael Vick, the football quarterback who was convicted of running a dog-fighting operation. As it turns out, most of Vick's 50 pit bulls were saved, but some felt that the matter of animal abuse needed a little more attention. Enter the Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy.
The toy has been produced with Vick in different outfits. It sells for $9.95 and a portion of profits are donated to canine charity causes. The Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy also gives dog owners a little 'payback' satisfaction.
