PITTSBURGH -- This isn't about repaying debt to society or fulfilling public relations obligations.
The way Mike Vick sees it, this is who he is now. He's an animal advocate.
On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback drove three hours from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in support of PA House Bill 1516, or the pets in cars bill, giving police authority to rescue dogs and cats from cars due to unsafe temperatures.
Vick spoke on the House floor for about five minutes, and he plans to be back soon to see this through.
