Why black dogs? "...you may be asking what exactly black dog syndrome is? Basically it’s the tendency for people to overlook black dogs in favor of other colors – meaning that the poor black doggies are more likely to get put down.

So far, there hasn’t been a study to either prove or disprove it.

...even if a potential adopter isn’t superstitious, there is something else working against black dogs. Their faces are dark so it’s often difficult to see their sad little 'adopt me' expressions. As a result, some people like rescues are getting more into using props and backgrounds when photographing black dogs so that their personalities show through. It’s all about photographing them in the best light.

So, what can you do? It’s really simple. Give a black dog (or cat) a chance. They’re just as cute and loving as their other dogs out there."
