In 2007, NFL quarterback Michael Vick was indicted on federal and state felony charges for running an interstate dog-fighting ring. Innocent pit bulls were forced into fighting for their lives, just so criminals could reap finances from drugs and gambling.
Hector, the pit bull you're about to meet, was one of Michael Vick's 51 fighting dogs. He was rescued during a raid on Vick's property, and was eventually adopted by Roo and Clara, a couple in Minnesota. In the video below, Roo sings Hector to sleep in his arms with a lullaby, and the results are priceless. The way Hector looks up at Dad with those puppy dog eyes, melting away like Jell-O as Roo serenades him… What an amazing moment caught on camera! All dogs should be treated like this, and thank God Hector was able to experience this type of love in his lifetime.
You'd think a dog so badly mistreated would never warm up to the human race, but Hector became a beloved family member. He even became a certified therapy dog who visited schools, teaching children how to interact with canine companions.
Hector died from cancer in October of 2014, leaving behind a legacy that has touched the hearts of thousands of people.
No matter what they've gone through in the past, dogs always deserve a second chance. If you agree, please SHARE this video with your friends on Facebook!
