Myth: Animal aggression is directly linked to human aggression
Truth: Exactly the opposite of this is true. I was reading the American Pit Bull Terrier "magabook" (not just a magazine, but not quite a book!) and I learned that there are several types of aggression, and absolutely no link has ever been found between animal aggression and human aggression. So, when a pit bull (or any dog, for that matter) goes after a squirrel due to its high prey drive, this should never give rise to a suspicion that it's only a matter of time before the same dog goes after a human.
