'VICK' Teaser: Michael Vick Discusses His Devotion to Dogs at an Early Age

Michael Vick and dogs: It's an association that has infamously lived on since news of the NFL quarterback's dog-fighting scandal broke.

But according to the man himself, his relationship with canines is one of devotion—evidenced by his attempts to keep the pets hidden from his mother, who wouldn't allow one in her house.

In the latest trailer for its upcoming documentary VICK, Bleacher Report provides a glimpse of the dual-threat athlete's passion for animals prior to the 2007 indictment that profoundly impacted both his career and his life.

The feature premieres Monday.
