What a ride! It has been a long time since we have added content and had a reason to add content. I want to take the opportunity to update you on the happenings of YOUR Official Vick Dog Chew Toy, as well as warn you of an “Official Imposter Alert”. If you remember back several months, Aim To Beginn LLC committed to its buyers and interested shoppers that we would look out for you. At the time we highlighted Jaime Salcedo and Showbiz Promotions.
Our trials and tribulations with Jaime and Showbiz have been well chronicled. We now know him as a fraud; one that stole your money and our original idea. My intention now is not to drudge up the past, but to focus on the now. We have all heard the term, “leopards don’t change their stripes”. Well, a more relative term for us at ATB would be, “once a crook, always a crook”.
I do not like writing about our past as it relates to what Jaime Salcedo has done to us or, more importantly to those that originally bought toys, from you. That is already well chronicled and documented.
What I do want to express is what has transpired since Jaime stole our idea ran off. The below information comes from frauds that we have uncovered, information we have shared with authorities and have subsequently lead to Jaime Salcedo and Showbiz Promotions to finally be brought to justice:
As a result of Jaime’s actions he has finally brought to himself and his family the attention of Attorney General Bill McCollum and Ernie Allen, president and CEO of National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. On 4/9/09 the press announced that the Office of Attorney General for the State of Florida is officially filing suit against Jaime Salcedo and Showbiz Promotions.
The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy is a concept that derived as a result of the developer’s original concept to raise awareness, give back and promote a toy that allows others to, “Bite Back”, to those that commit horrendous crimes against defenseless pets. If you look back to our original statements and actions when Aim To Beginn began this endeavor in 2007, you will notice that our Mission has not changed or wavered. We will not allow that now or ever.
What we ask of you is to use your intellect to understand the difference between a proven crook like Jaime Salcedo, understand the evidence that proves Showbiz Promotions is an unscrupulous organization, and know that Aim To Beginn LLC is the not in any way affiliated and is the ONLY supplier of a product that lives up to both the mission statement listed above and the product that it has provided to our loyal customers.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your support.

Imposter Update!
It seems as though our favorite, but certainly not our only, imposter is at it again. Many of you that have followed the story of the Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy remember Jaime Salcedo and Showbiz Promotions. Jaime is the fraud that not only took off with thousands and failed to produce a product as advertised, but also attempts to market the product as his own.

Those of us that have had experience with Jaime often wonder what levels he will stoop to in order to turn a buck. Well, I think we all found out. Jaime, representing his company Showbiz Promotions, is now, “cashing in on the Caylee Anthony tragedy”, according to Fox 30 News in Jacksonville. Now, having experienced Jaime and his actions first hand, I can honestly say that I am not surprised. Actually, let me take that back. I am surprised. I am also shocked and disturbed by Jaime’s latest actions. I did not think that a human would go this low. I guess in the case of Jaime, there is absolutely nothing he won’t do to turn a quick buck.
I am not in favor of bringing notice to this situation. The reason for this message is to clarify our stance. The article mentions, “The makers of the Michael Vick Chew Toy for Dogs”, as those responsible for the Caylee doll. Well, Aim to Beginn, LLC and our other Partners are the owners of the Vick Dog Chew Toy idea and concept. As such, we have ABSOLUTELY NO involvement with Jaime Salcedo, Showbiz Promotions, and have ABSOLUTELY NO involvement with the Caylee doll.
The Caylee Anothony situation is tragic. To further the tragedy, the media glamorization of the situation through it’s non-stop coverage makes the situation even worse. According to his interview on Fox 30 News, Jaime told a reporter he is, “raising awareness”, of the issue. Is raising more awareness to this tragedy really possible? Isn’t that exactly the last thing anyone needs as this point, more awareness of a terrible tragedy? Instead can’t we just allow the little girl to rest in peace and allow our justice system the opportunity to bring proper penalty to those involved?
I believe that it is important enough for each of you to be aware that Aim To Beginn, LLC is the owner of The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy and we ARE NOT involved with Jaime Salcedo, Showbiz Promotions, and any of their products, especially their latest.
We respect the pain and suffering the Anthony family has endured during this extremely difficult time and our prayers go out to them.
