Not at all. Since people are willing in one case and unwilling in the other, the comparison is built in. The trouble is that we really aren't trying to compare the breeds of dog, but rather how people see them. To use "unlike," we'd need something a bit unwieldy, such as "Unlike German shepherds or Dobermans, which many people are willing to believe are domesticated, pitbulls are not generally seen as domesticated." This is fairly indirect and doesn't really compare the actions of people the way it should.

Hello nayas96,
We hope this finds you well.
Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can help resolve your doubt.
As DmitryFarber has written, the issue here is that the sentence is not meant to compare "German shepherds or Doberman pinchers" with "pit bulls"; it is supposed to compare the willingness of many people to believe one thing (that German shepherds and Doberman pinchers might be fully domesticated) and the people's willingness to believe a second thing (that pit bulls might be fully domesticated). Option A raises a comparison with "German shepherds or Doberman pinchers" but does not actually complete the comparison. Option B makes the correct comparison by mentioning two contradictory actions taken by "Many people".
We hope this helps.
All the best!

No. Something like and also may, though.
