** ADVANCE FOR RELEASE, SUNDAY, JAN. 30, AND THEREAFTER ** In this photo taken Thursday, Jan. 20, 2011, Dogtown manager John Garcia gets a lick on the face by Ellen in Kanab, Utah. Ellen is one of 13 pit bulls slowly recovering at the Best Friends Animal Society in the wilderness of Utah, a world away from where their lives began, chained in basements and forced into dogfighting rings as part of the business bankrolled by football player Michael Vick.
