The Fight Against Dogfighting | Season 1, Episode 3

In this third episode of the inaugural season, I turn my attention back to the topic of dogfighting in the direct aftermath of the Michael Vick case, as heightened awareness by law enforcement nationwide increased the amount of individuals charged with dogfighting. From interviewing an international expert in law enforcement who went undercover for dogfighting raids to attending an American Bar Association conference in Chicago where many of those involved in the Michael Vick case gathered to speak about the significance of it.

At the conclusion of this episode, Preston finally comes home.
