Some of them surely. Most of the dogs Michael Vick had have been adopted out and are now great family dogs.
I had a fighting dog come to me last year. I don't know how or why this pit bull ended up at my door, but he did, banging on it with his paw. I let him in and he promptly headed for an open cage where he slept for 24 hours straight. He had bite marks and cigarette burns all over his body. Someone had tried to cut off his ears with what might have been a scissors. His penis was slashed. He was covered in paint. Poor guy. I had him for three weeks before a family showed up. He's a superb family dog now. All he ever wanted was his own family, his own mom and dad, his own kids to play with. The only thing different about him is, he is very apprehensive being around other dogs. He hasn't bitten anyone, nor tried to fight, he does avoid them and will growl if they come too close.
The family got him his own kitten for company. He loves his kitten, they sleep together in Spot's dog bed, play together. Just because a dog was a fighting dog at one time doesn't automatically make them a bad dog. Sometimes they didn't like it to begin with.
