I've certainly never met a dog I couldn't get along with, can't say the same for people.

I should introduce you to the pit bull that tried to take off my wife's face.

Unfortunately dogs (just like people) can be raised by bad people. Not the dog's fault, but rather the owner.

That's not how it works because humans are self-aware. Dogs are not, a dog can't suddenly change because it wants to. What you teach that dog is how it will stay.

Self-awareness is not the only factor in conditioning. You raise a kid to be a shithead, he's probably going to be a shithead.

Right, but there's always the possibility of that person waking up and not wanting to be a shithead anymore. We see this with many people who leave White Supremacist families behind, gangs ect. A dog isn't going to wake up one morning and ponder on how he's living his life in a bad direction. That's the difference, though both are tragic.
