DOG

Looks like a Samoyed. My buddy had one that would get so exited it would piss on the floor every time he came home from work.

This's the late Anvil shooters' dog and chicken. Guess the bird fell off chicken truck. Dog found and brought to shop. They were always together.

Just saw other dog in upper left hand, Looks like it's got bird on it's mind? Dog is unknown by me, or I forgot. Maybe ran over by chicken truck.

A black Labrador retriever named Denver poses in Fred Levy's studio in Maynard, Massachusetts. Levy, a pet photographer, first heard about “Black Dog Syndrome” in a 2013 conversation at a dog park. It’s a disputed theory that black dogs are the last to get adopted at shelters, perhaps because of superstition or a perception that they’re aggressive. The idea inspired Levy to take up a photo project on their behalf.

My old Black Lab was adopted from a local dogs' home and he was the most gentle creature imaginable.

Labs don't care what color they are... or even if one their parents was French.

They're friendly dogs despite their tendencies to please humans.

Never heard that about dogs but often about black shelter cats.

Speaking of labs ...

But so many phases pop into mind with that.

... like the Army's: " Be All That You Can Be "

Now she'll just have to settle being white.

[classicman]

No she won't, Haven't you heard? She's transblack.

He was a good friend as well. His bed was next door to the bookcase and when he wanted to shift his position, he'd put a back foot 'overboard' and push away until he was comfortable.
The bookcase still bears the scratch marks in his memory.

Dogs in 18th century Virginia.

The name of Glasgow's owner is forgotten, but for his return, twenty shillings was offered, a sum that underscored his master's attachment. It was not so substantial a reward, however, as the $20 posted in 1777 for a pet Pomeranian called Spado. Spado's notice, inserted by Williamsburg's William Finnie, said the shaggy little black canine had been spotted in the possession of a man who called himself Joseph Block, but "belongs to our brave but unfortunate general LEE." The general in question may have been Charles Lee, a gentleman seldom seen without his dogs, who was captured by the British in 1776. Perhaps more typical is a 1752 advertisement for Ball, a reddish spaniel missed by owner James Spiers, who was willing to part with a dollar to get him back.

Awwwwwww. Oh they're adorable.

There is a special place in Hell for those who abandon their pets when they get old or sick.
