See here for who Buddy is.

And my guess, as with the others, is that because he's a rescue, he has probably had bad experiences in his past with a black woman. That doesn't mean he cannot be trained out of this fear, but it will take some time.

And I have never known a dog to be afraid of men just because they are men. Every one I have known that has been afraid of men is because they had a bad experience with a man in the past.
