It's Saturday! Time for a dog song here at Talking Dogs. Today we have a song that is not technically about dogs. However, Colorblind by the Counting Crows is used as the music for this brilliant video about big black dogs and Black Dog Syndrome. The lyrics are about as perfect as you can get.
The Plight of Big Black Dogs video was created for the Georgia Animal Rescue and Defence, Inc (GARD) group to enlighten the public about the fact that more big black dogs are euthanized in shelters across the United States than any other color dog. It's a beautiful piece and an oh, so important, topic.
A few years ago I was stunned to learn about Black Dog Syndrome. I'm someone who has always loved big, black dogs. I've even chosen canine family members simply because they were black. So, it was shocking to to me to learn that such a disproportionate number of black dogs are overlooked and put down at shelters.Public education about this issue is so necessary and this video addresses some of the myths about black dogs visually.
So, grab a dog! A black one if you've got one, though any dog will do. Sit. Stay. Take a moment to appreciate Colorblind and The Plight of Big Black Dogs. Then scroll down below our dog song video and fetch some barking good dog blogs, because today is a Pet Blogger Hop.
