		<description>@wildcatsthree&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s tough to change people&#039;s perceptions. In the meantime, innocent animals lose their lives because of our screwed up systems. By this of course I don&#039;t mean the rescue systems, but the way some of us lead our lives. For some of us, everything is dispensable once we have no use for it. That includes animals that have lost their cuteness factor.&lt;br/&gt;That way of thinking is simply unacceptable.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;@Chris (Houndsgood)&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for commenting. I know you have written about this before. What you&#039;ve said is very true. I only hope that some people discriminate unknowingly, and if any of them come across this write up, or ones like this, they may have a change of heart.</description>

		<description>People tend to shy away for a few reasons.  Sometimes a black dog just doesn&#039;t photograph well for someone who is just taking photos of the dogs at the shelter very quickly and the black coat may cause you to not be able to see their face very well.  Or the flash makes them look harsh.  Folks also don&#039;t sometimes see a black dog as an &quot;individual&quot; whereas a dog that has patches and markings looks more distinctive so they assume their personality is that way too.</description>

		<description>I had heard this before, but didn&#039;t really understand why people shy away from black dogs.&lt;br/&gt;We have a black cocker spaniel that is the sweetest thing you could imagine.  My brother&#039;s family has had 3 black dogs, all very gentle souls.  It is so sad to think they are discriminated against just on color. A plus is that the black dog hair doesn&#039;t show so much on furniture or clothing.&lt;br/&gt;You&#039;re doing great work - keep it up.&lt;br/&gt;p.s. thanks for the kind words you left on my blog about my Fritzy.</description>
