“The dog came at our husky, grabbing him by the throat at first,” Price said, adding the dog had no leash or collar.
The dog sunk its teeth into Jasper’s side, causing the husky to yelp, Price said. A man who showed up to the scene claimed he wasn’t the owner but was caring for the pit bull cross. He and the dog then left the scene.

“I don’t think they need to be banned. It’s the owner and the way the dogs are brought up,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a pit bull. Point-blank, a husky could be aggressive too. It doesn’t matter the type of dog.”i

I'm so sick and tired of hearing this line.
Yes, any dog "can" be aggressive, but a dog's physical capabilities and disposition vary by breed. Not all dogs are as likely to behave badly and cause so much damage. Pit bulls certainly have a smaller margin of error when it comes to training compared to many other breeds (including huskies which while potentially dangerous, have been bred for discipline).
