Here’s a clip from Dogtown, the National Geographic Channel series that will begin its second season Friday (Sept. 5 at 9 p.m.) with a special two hour episode, “Saving the Michael Vick Dogs.”

Viewers get to follow the recoveries of four of the most challenging dogs seized from the former Atlanta Falcon quarterback’s Virginia dogfighting ring — Cherry, Meryl, Denzel and Georgia — as experts at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary work to help them overcome their violent pasts.

Dogtown is part of the 33,000-acre animal sanctuary in southern Utah. Best Friends took in 22 of the 47 dogs seized from Vick — the dogs that were viewed as the least likely to be able to be rehabilitated.

Dogtown’s philosophy — “There’s no such thing as a bad dog” — seems to have worked with Vick’s dogs. Even Meryl, who was ordered by the court to stay at Dogtown permanently, has gained new social skills and confidence.

The sanctuary hosts hundreds of dogs, along with cats, horses, rabbits, goats and other farm animals — as many as 1,500 at one time. A staff of about 60 oversses them, taking care of the medical needs, training and rehabilitation, with the hope that as many as possible will be placed with new owners.

For those that don’t make that transition, Best Friends continues to care for them for the rest of their lives.

After focusing on the Vick dogs, the National Geographic program this season will look at some of the other guests at Dogtown — including a hound named Wylee who was hit by a car and lost the use of his front legs; a golden retriever with a learning disability, a border collie with dislocated hip, and a Weimaraner paralyzed with anxiety.

A neighborhood in Peru’s capital has passed a law prohibiting families living in apartments from having more than one dog and limiting people in houses to two.

According to an order published in the country’s official gazette on Thursday, residents of Jesus Maria, a middle-class area in Lima, have said there are just too many dogs — and too much barking.

“Neighbors have complained they cannot live in peace, harmony, or good physical and mental health because … noisy dogs disturb the peace,” the order read.

Families with more than the permitted number of dogs will face fines of up to 700 soles ($237), and could have their dogs removed, according to a Reuters article.

But Maria Solano, 70, said she would never let that happen to her two dogs, Boni and Fiama, adopted off the street 5 years ago.

“My dogs are my children,” said Solano, who lives in an apartment in Jesus Maria. “They aren’t hurting anyone. I’d move to another neighborhood before giving them up.”

The order says nothing about children, cats, or other animals.
