The art is amazing! That is not questionable!
However, like others are saying: prey drive + temperament are genetic. There is no question that many dog breeds have higher prey drive (all terriers for example.. ALL .. APBT/pitbull mix are the largest terriers ..) We do not question that not all households can handle the work drive of a malinois, or the herding instinct of a collie breed. Yet we ignore the breed specific prey+hunt drive in many breeds, thus failing and anthropmorphising them. If you want to TRULY advocate and do best for these dogs, truly learn the body language+tendencies and be proactive. Or continue babying them and being apart of the reason they get the chance to kill/harm, either way idc.
