It was the truth because if a pitty showed aggression towards people, it was "culled." Now, however, with thug types breeding them to be "badass," it's not always the case. I am a firm believer that it's 90% training and upbringing, but when you let a strong, tenacious animal of any kind be aggressive, you have problems. I naturally give them the benefit of the doubt, but you always need to be alert to body language.
That being said, the only one I have personally owned was a true nanny dog. She was one of the most gentle, trust worthy dogs I've ever known.
