But are zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
The Zebra
The zebra says with great delight,
His stripes are black, his coat is white;
Tomorrow he will take it back
And say his stripes are white on black;
Small wonder that we've come to doubt
The double talk he's handing out;
In truth, he really is, of course
A psychedelic mini-horse.

Actiually black cats are in worse shape. Or so it is said.
As for dogs, I can believe it but haven’t really heard that.
The thing about black dogs is their blending in, especially at night, and the sensation that a black face is scarier. Our own breed founder was against white German Shepherds partly because predators would see them too easily in the night, whereas the darker shades could sneak up on a predator better while guarding.

Are you sure he was a mutt, and not a Flat-Coated Retriever?

Not quite; Shepherds have been 2nd for some time. And the breed is Labrador; the color does not matter (major pet peeve of mine).

Yes. The human parents of the “scarlet woman” observed her playing around with Studley shortly after humiliating event.

Cats suck. Aside from Man, they are the only animal which will kill for the fun of watching another tortured creature suffer.
I hate cats with every fiber of my being, and always will.

Yep, sounds like our house. Every time I brush our Lab, I get enough dog hair to make a whole new dog. :-)

What a gyp this story is! 3 dogs and a lady with big boobs and 2 kidlets. I was expecting a whole gallery of black dogs. I guess they want you to buy the book.

You hit the answer to the black dog problem right on the nail! They are difficult to photograph. It takes a pro like Levy to capture the nuancees in their fur and faces.
To: afraidfortherepublic
Yep, the guy learned that a black background is necessary. (I need to copy that)
I finally bought a blinking light to attach to the dog so I could see where she was in nighttime excursions.

That’s a damn good idea, never thought of it.
Guess I will be making a trip to the hardware store.
