Black dog factoid: Did you know that generally across the US, black dogs are the least likely of any color to be adopted from shelters? Some shelters put them down quickly because they know from experience (or superstition or their own bias) that they won't be adopted out.

If I ever get a totally black dog, I'm SO naming her, "Skriker"!
