Chain a golden retriever to a stake and leave it isolated or tormented and it will behave exactly like an inner-city pit bull. Socialize a pit bull early, give it training and a firm place in the pack and it will behave just like a golden retriever.

This particular photo could be photo-shopped, but I have also seen dog abuse like this in the flesh.

That's right. Drive through a neighborhood in Compton or Pacoima and you'll see this behind more then one chain link fence.

It's real. The head is hung low due to the weight of the chain and you can see his discomfort. His eyes are not dominant or even confident.

Until one day when unexpectedly he bites your face off

Serial, all dogs are capable of biting. A little yap yap dog might be able to break the skin.
A powerful dog that had been bred to kill is capable of a bit more than that.

But this is the one you really need to watch out for:

Being a prop man, this is now duly noted. Heck, we're lucky if we remember to check that the American flag is always on the left when facing a judge (or prez, official, etc), sometimes the set dec doesn't know and sets it up wrong. That one gets slipped up on too.
