You'll be referring to a news article about an XL Bully that killed the owner's 68 year old grandmother? The dog was specifically bred to fight other dogs, largely for criminal cartels to make money with gambling and bought largely by people who want their dog to fight other dogs or act as a fashion accessory so people will be scared of the owner and think they are virile or fashionably butch. (Oh dear, was that too anti-people!)

Then, inevitably, comes the unwanted, leftover dog who is not vicious enough to fight successfully, or whose owner has turned to less time consuming and less expensive fashion accessories where they don't need to get up early or find money to pay a vet.

Sadly, even if the good Samararitans who take on these poor dogs have both the home environment, expertise, physical strength and calm, even personality to deal with them, as soon as that rescuer needs hospital care or a holiday or has family in his home and a baby makes a sudden shriek or someone shouts at the wrong moment the tragedy occurs. You notice that the owner in that news article had bred his dog, and the puppies looked true enough to type for it to appear that the breeding was deliberate. That breed of dog with puppies, an elderly, temporary guardian and the tragedy was not an accident but an inevitability, though not the fault of the dog. No, I dont think the article was anti-dog, but anyone who deliberately breeds one of these dogs is.
