Do black dogs die simply because they're black?

The answer is an unequivocal yes-- superstition and a general lack of awareness are every bit as lethal as a gun to "dogs of color."

They stand little chance of being adopted, despite a complete absence of evidence that they're different in any other way from their lighter-colored brethren. Many people think that they're vicious and aggressive. Even though that's completely untrue, shelters have little choice but to euthanize them.
