"I would say at least 80 percent of our dog kennel is black 98 percent of the time," says Katherine Christenson of Georgia’s Atlanta Humane Society. "People always take the blond dogs first; it’s horrible."The two dogs I actively rescued (one through a site, the other through the pound), have dark coats. They're wonderful puppies.

If you are considering ...
... adopting a pet, strongly consider one with a black coat. They get overlooked all too often.

I love my cats, but their white belly fur really is a pain in the ass. Given that the sofa and most of my clothes are dark, I really should have got a darker cat...
Such an odd prejudice! Does it come down to the old superstitions? We all know that black cats are supposed to be bad luck,m but I'll bet not one person in a hundred could tell you that black dogs were considered an omen of death in Viking Europe—but do we still know it subconsciously?
