October 1st is National Black Dog Day. Often it is business interests, who wish free promotion, declare to the public that to-day is such and such. National Widget Day is to get the press to remind the populace to go out and get some damn widgets, or such. Black Dog Day is different. People are stupid, and believe in superstitions, and these
'stupidstitions' become negative biases. For dogs (and cats, for that matter) it can be deadly. In animal shelters, it is often the black ones that are last adopted, or not adopted at all, and become the first to be euthanised (killed). There are cruel stupid people that will torture animals with black fur.
Then supposedly it is said black dogs do not photograph well. Captain above makes a great picture.
My black dogs (hounds), Cassius (L) and Captain America (R).
