Here are our favorite things to love about black dogs:<\/p>\n
1 Always ready to go<\/h3>\n
While you should always keep your dog clean and well-groomed, with a black dog that last-minute roll in the mud right before dinner guests arrive might be a little less noticeable! Compared to dogs with light fur, dirt shows up much less on black dogs \u2014 which can be convenient.<\/p>\n

2 Improve your photography<\/h3>\n
Want a new hobby? Black dogs might be very photogenic, but they can also be harder to photograph, especially inside or in low-lighting situations. Like any other dog guardian, you are going to want to take lots<\/em> of pictures of your dog, so you\u2019ll end up becoming an amateur photographer to get that perfect shot.<\/p>\n Who doesn\u2019t love to spoil their dog? Fancy dog collars, bandannas and even costumes all look fantastic on black dogs. You can go with any color accessory and it will stand out beautifully against your dog\u2019s coat. Don\u2019t forget bejeweled leashes and designer dog beds. Your black dog will coordinate with any doggie d\u00e9cor or accessory!<\/p>\n Photography \u00a9GlobalP | Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Do you like to dress up? Having a black dog means your pup will always coordinate with your favorite little black dress. Not into dressing up but wear a lot of black? Having a black dog means that your dog\u2019s fur is way less likely to show up on you. Basically, black dogs make anyone look more pulled together.<\/p>\n Your black dog will be the perfect hide-and-seek partner because of how easily he can blend into dark corners of your house. As a fun trick, teach your black dog to hide in closets or corners, but don\u2019t forget to teach your dog to In Europe and especially England, there are many examples in folklore about apparitions of black dogs. Although sometimes this mythology portrays these big, black dogs as haunting \u201chellhounds,\u201d the ancient Egyptians worshiped the god Anubis who was associated with the afterlife. Anubis is depicted as a black dog-like figure. God or hound of hell \u2014 either way you have a brilliant built-in Halloween costume!<\/p>\n Don\u2019t like talking to people? Get a black dog! People have a lot of preconceived misconceptions that black dogs are mean or unapproachable, so having a black dog might<\/em> mean people leave you alone, which means more uninterrupted time hanging out with your dog! (Although you should always be a black dog ambassador and help dispel people of that myth!)<\/p>\n Black dogs are likely to make you go bump in the night! It seems like all dogs like to sleep right where your feet need to be, and black dogs are almost invisible, especially in the middle of the night when you\u2019re heading to the kitchen for a drink of water or a snack. The good thing is if there were ever a burglar, your black dog would also trip them \u2014 and then probably lick them to death.<\/p>\n Sassafras Lowrey <\/em><\/strong>is an award-winning author.
