Unpleasant as that thought is, it is history.

So yes, subservient to it's master, but NOT to it's prey.

Nope. Not pit bulls. There were other breeds used to track slaves but pit bulls weren't breed until after the US Civll War and they were breed for bull and bear fights then later for dog fighting.

Even the dog that were used to track slaves could be made subservient to any human. Solomon Northrup in "Twelve Years a Slave" speaks of surreptitiously training his owner's dog not to follow him.
