basically just keep them out of the publics eye, outta sight outta mind I pretty much disagree with this completely in terms of improving the image. It may stop some of the witch hunt, but people will still think they are their biggest fears.

People will only have their perceptions changed by first hand interaction with them. They will be too afraid to do this if the owners look undesirable or the dogs exhibit any sort of antisocial behaviour. If they can meet friendly dogs which challenge all the claims of them being bloodthirsty out of control monsters then they may begin to accept them. The problem with this option is so many of the "good" owners would rather bury their heads in the sand like dinosaurs rather than face the changing environment and adapt to continue to exist.
