One of our volunteers, Letti de Little, adopted them and commissioned me to carve them both. The black-and-white dog, Uba, was from the infamous Michael Vick dogfighting case, and his girlfriend, Jamie, was from one of the largest dogfight busts in U.S. Both dogs survived large scale dogfighting cases and came into our adoption program after Donna and I worked with Feds to rescue them. The dogs lived together and were great friends, and both of them are dear to me since they’re dogs from BADRAP. Humane education work that helps kids view dogs as sentient beings is an ongoing need to help curb any kind of abuse, including dogfighting.ĭ: What are you working on now? R: The piece that I’m finishing up right now is the second dog in a two-dog carving commission, Uba and Jamie. Abusing dogs this way on a smaller, street-level scale still happens, and probably always will to some extent. Racer: Organized dogfighting - now a felony in all 50 states - is much less common than it used to be, but it still exists. DROOL: Too often, pit bulls have been associated with dogfighting.
