Something stupid has been bothering me

[KYS]

If I recall in the clip War Dogs, Didn't the black dogs that got left behind in Viet Nam killed because of superstition?

You know, it's funny cuz I hear about that Black Dog thing , where they don't get adopted as often or people are more afraid... And I'm sitting here thinking - MAN, I WISH I had a black dog since I wear so much black! What was I thinking falling in love with a WHITE dog?! heehee

When I had Cody and Willie, people used to walk right up to Cody, but for Willie people often asked if he bites. I too think it is a leftover superstition from medeival days when a black dog or cat was bad luck or meant death or was a bad omen. Just like people still take note of the number 13 or Friday the 13th. I do think it is more of a subconscious thing though.

Oh Tina.... please don't pay any attention to what she said to you. It was just her opinion!!

Large Black dogs are always the last to be adopted at shelters!

Even with my pups... Sierra is mostly black and only weights 65 lbs. Buddy has little black and is 90lbs and will run and bark at people in our yard. But more people are afraid of Sierra!!!
They've even told me that her black face scares them!!
