Today's myth is brought to you by Parade magazine (and my mother in law, who made me aware of this article)
Myth: Once a pit bull has been trained as a fighting dog, it will be aggressive forever and there is nothing you can do about it.
Truth: Apparently, complete rehabilitation of fighting dogs is totally possible. This article from yesterday's Parade section in the newspaper tells the story of several of Michael Vick's fighting dogs that have been rehabilitated. Some are even service dogs that work with the elderly and children.
Myth = BUSTED (with the added bonus of some positive media attention!!)
