This final episode in the three-episode Season 1 disc was about the Vick dogs taken in by Best Friends for rehabilitation. (Be Be warned, there were some dog-fighting clips in the episode.) Rescuing the Vick dogs was a controversial move by Best Friends and some animal groups, most notably PETA, did not agree with it.

This episode featured three young dogs: Johnny, the golden retriever that was considered too dumb to train; "Baxt" (I think) a puppy with a neurological problem; and Tuffy, the dog attacked and left for dead by other dogs. There are numerous fact sheets about animal hoarding available from animal groups.

Over $100 million went to medical research while about $1 million went to animal welfare causes.
