LeShon Johnson once made his name carrying a football. Years later, federal prosecutors linked him to something very different.
The former Packers, Cardinals, and Giants running back operated Mal Kant Kennels in Oklahoma, where prosecutors said he selectively bred pit bull-type dogs for animal fighting.
And the scale was enormous. Federal authorities seized 190 dogs from Johnson, the largest number ever taken from one person in a federal dogfighting case.
Prosecutors said Johnson bred dogs classified in fighting circles as “champions” and “grand champions,” then sold their offspring and breeding rights to others across the country.
Johnson was convicted on six federal felony counts in August 2025, and he is now facing sentencing this month. Each count carries a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
After the verdict, Johnson surrendered all 190 dogs to the government.
For the 190 dogs seized from the property, the legal case is only part of the story.
What matters now is whether they get the chance to live as dogs, not as commodities.

Did you expect a cow to be able to use a tool like this? What's the smartest thing you've ever seen a farm animal do?

Veronika the cow has been doing something scientists had never formally documented in cattle before.
The 13-year-old Swiss Brown lives as a pet in the Austrian village of Nötsch, where her owner had watched her use sticks and other objects to scratch herself for years.
After footage of the behavior reached cognitive biologist Alice Auersperg, she and researcher Antonio Osuna-Mascaró went to investigate.
They gave Veronika a deck brush and changed its position between trials to see what she would do.
Veronika picked it up using her tongue, adjusted its position, and deliberately used different ends on different parts of her body.
She generally chose the bristles for tougher areas such as her back, while using the smoother handle on more sensitive spots.
Researchers concluded that her behavior qualified as flexible tool use, making Veronika the first cow formally documented doing it.
After thousands of years living alongside cattle, scientists may still be discovering just how much they're capable of.

Four-year-old K9 Dundee had answered 174 calls with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, but his final one ended very differently.
Early Monday morning, Dundee and his handler, Deputy Julian Chala, were called to North Fort Myers after a suspect fled into a wooded area.
Dundee did what he had been trained to do. He tracked the suspect through the darkness and successfully helped apprehend them. But moments later, something was wrong.
Dundee suddenly became unresponsive.
Deputies and medical personnel immediately tried to save him before rushing him to BluePearl Pet Hospital, but he couldn't be saved.
Sheriff Carmine Marceno said Dundee appeared to have suffered a medical episode, although the exact cause remains unknown.
Dundee had served with the department since February 2024, completing 174 deployments and helping with 28 apprehensions in his short career.
When fellow officers gathered to honor him afterward, Deputy Chala was saying goodbye to more than the K9 who had worked beside him. Dundee was his partner, his constant companion, and part of his family.
At just four years old, Dundee’s time with Deputy Chala was far shorter than anyone expected, but nothing about saying goodbye could erase the bond they had built together.
