They will use the same tired excuse that it is the owner’s fault, not the dog.
I’ve never heard anyone advocate that you can train the basic instinct of a dog out of it like they do for pits.
Show me how to train a herding instinct out of a Border Collie, a retrieving/love of water instinct out of Labs, the rat killing instinct out of Terriers, or a digging instinct out of Dachshunds.
Pits are bred for fighting and killing. Same kind of instinctive behavior as others that can’t have it trained out of them.
Fault implies blame. Someone consciously conditioned these dogs to behave this way, to somehow learn this kind of response is an acceptable one and not out of the realm of normalcy.
It’s not a tired excuse, it’s a fact. Any pet dog that attacks another person is the fault of the owner regardless of breed. Working dogs require supervision from their owners at all times especially when around other people.

I hear that a lot. I’m sure it will be real comforting to Brittany that it was the owner’s fault, not the dog’s.
