A great story from a labrador supporter named Magerk. The Official Vick’s Dog Chew Toy™ has been to many places, but sometimes a story like this hits home as the very essence of why we created this endeavor. Our previous post was recently updated by The Baltimore Sun reporter John Woestendiek.

The article stated: “The raffle winners, Jason Powell and Ann Marie Morhiser, took it home and gave it to their Labrador, Magerk, a 1 1/2-year old Labrador the engaged couple adopted from Maryland Lab Rescue and named after the Federal Hill bar in which they met.

Here’s a report from Ann Marie, who works as fifth-grade teacher in Ellicott City:

“She loves the toy and carries it (now just the head) around with her all the time. She even sleeps with it!

“Magerk got the toy last Thursday and each day she destroyed a little bit more. First it was one leg, then the next, and then his torso. All that is left is his head and shoulders. She is still chipping away at it but is struggling to keep her grip as the toy has decreased in size.

“She never ate the pieces, she just spit them on the floor. For the past week we have been picking up tiny remains of the convict. For Magerk, this toy lasted roughly the same amount of time as the rest of her toys. She loves to chew (luckily for us she only chews her toys!)”

Thank you to the Morhiser’s family and John Woestendiek, for writing back and telling the story.

It’s always great to see positive feedback from this charitable endeavor! Aim To Beginn, LLC is proud to have been the provider of the chew toy that made a Labrador Retriever very happy!

“My Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy — that would be the “official” one (see previous entry) — went to Thursday’s night’s fundraiser at the Sly Fox Pub and was raffled off in an evening that saw more than $1,000 raised to establish a dog park in Locust Point.” Read Entire Article Here
