Michael Vick wants to help let the dogs out.
The former Eagles quarterback, who currently occupies a reserve role for the Pittsburgh Steelers, will visit Harrisburg Tuesday to lend support for a bill aimed at protecting pets left in hot cars, according to PennLive.com.
Vick plans to meet with lawmakers to discuss House Bill 1516, which would allow first responders to break into cars containing trapped pets without carrying responsibility for the resulting damages. The bill is currently stuck in the House Judiciary Committee.
Vick, 35, remains a controversial figure nationally for his 2007 conviction for financing a dogfighting ring.
