Yep. It's the people and how they treat the animal, not the animal itself. People who are scared of pit bulls know ****-all about them in reality. Perhaps they ran into one that was badly treated or raised incorrectly and that's scarred them for life. But it's the same with people: it's all in how you're raised.

With people, however, with our larger and more elastic brains, bad upbringings can be overcome. With dogs, once they're set on a certain path, there's very little chance of them changing. So I understand why your family had to put that dog down. At least that dog isn't suffering anymore.
