As a result, they are the most abused, misunderstood dog breed—comprising an <br /> estimated 70% of dogs housed and euthanized in urban animal shelter systems. <br /> It's a grim situation for a breed whose sweet temperament around children once earned it the <br /> nickname of"the nanny dog." <br /> The HSUS is invested in turning the tide for pit bulls, tackling the problem from every angle.
