Dogs have a wide array of learning capabilities, behaviors, and individual traits that make them unique.
It is true that a good owner gives every dog a better chance, but there are literally dogs that have anxiety disorders, and mental disorders.
Yes, there are bad dogs. There are breeds that are way more prone to attacking and killing dogs and kids and people. And while a bad owner will make it worse there are lots of good owners that have had to put dogs down for attacking people.
Yes there are bad dogs. Period. And a bad owner just makes it worse. But all dogs aren't "good boys" by default.

But *my* dog would never do that. My dog wouldn't hurt a fly. It's not going to happen to me because my dog is different from all others and special, and I am also different and special.
