Something for all of us pit lovers, from National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition" Saturday, June 21, 2008:
"Dog trainer Mathina McClay talks with Scott Simon about her work with one of the rescued pit bulls from Michael Vick's dog fighting ring. She has trained the dog, Leo, to be a cancer therapy dog."
