(AP) --  A minor ruckus has arisen over a top Dallas
official's presentation of a "key to the city" to Philadelphia
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick.

 Vick won The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award
this past season, his second in the NFL since serving 18 months in
prison for dogfighting.

Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway presented the key at a ceremony in
Dallas in the days leading up to Sunday's Super Bowl. In a
statement issued Monday, Mayor Tom Leppert said the presentation
was made without his knowledge and approval.

Caraway, in his own statement, described himself as an animal
lover and honored Vick for his efforts to encourage children to
stay in school and away from drugs and harmful influences.
