Michael Vick bitten by dog after release

Michael Vick was viciously bitten by a dog as he was being released from prison Wednesday morning. The wound on his ankle was severe enough that Vick had to return to the prison hospital for treatment.

Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, was being released to home confinement after serving a 19-month sentence for financing a dog-fighting ring. The dog, a 5-year-old rottweiler by the name of Crosby, was apparently lying in wait for Vick outside the prison walls.

“Two of my brothers were killed as part of his criminal acts,” Crosby said as he was being taken to the local pound. “I had to get him back for what he did.”

The attack came as no surprise to Vick or his attorneys, as Crosby had been apparently sending Vick threatening notes for months. “We warned prison officials this might happen, but they didn’t seem to care, “ Vick attorney Larry Woodward said.
