(Newser) – Four years after his prison sentence for dog fighting ended, Michael Vick is a dog owner once again. TMZ has pictures of Vick and his dog at a New Jersey PetSmart, where the dog was taking a training class (presumably not to learn how to fight other dogs to the death). The pooch is a Belgian Malinois, a tough breed used by the Navy SEALs. No word on whether the new addition to the Vick family was approved by a judge.

This breed of dog is tough enough to stick up for itself, he better watch out.

Our government just finished killing 1,000,000 Iraqis, We're drone bombing a bunch of different countries and killing innocent women and children all the time. No body gives a shit about that. When it comes to Vick, it's 8 years later and nobody can get over a friggin dog fight. I love dogs, but the mental priorities in this country really concern me. I really believe the populace has become over medicated and zombified by TV and other gadgets. I understand it's possible to have disdain for both subjects, but I've seen on the news, crowds gathering to scream and yell at Vick and hold rallies and make signs. When it comes to the current drone campaign, most of those same people could care less, and are totally apathetic toward the subject.
