Black dogs have something mystical about them. It’s not surprising black dogs can provoke many different feelings at first glance. Some might preserve black dogs the same way as any other dogs, others might get scared of black dogs. A study by a kennel showed black dogs to be the least picked dogs and are always the ones that get left behind and picked the least.
This is a well-known situation and it’s called ‘black dog syndrome. According to old British tales, black dogs are described as hell hounds and are devilish creatures. This is of course not true.
