As I stated before, I have no problem with the issues the dog may be facing but I am trying to say there is a possibility for misunderstanding with his potential double meaning use of the word "coon" when describing a dog that does not like black people...
I am not the political correctness police but I am stating that the poster is creating a situation where his meaning might be misunderstood....

I usually find that when "misunderstanding" is found in these situations, the person was looking for a "misunderstanding."

Several things come to mind, such as the situation with "slave drives" on computers in California. Or the slave for a day situation somewhere in the south.

Sometimes the truth is also ironic -- that's the basis of humor, I think...
