Today, I was sitting in the park with my new dog; I got her from the pound last week. We were enjoying the sun when I noticed that every time a black person walked past, she'd bark like crazy. Great, my dog is a racist. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, our dog is a racist. No other way to say it. We’ve had her since she was born, raised her just like our other dogs, but every time we try to take her for a walk, if she spots a black person, any black person, she barks at them, and once almost bit someone. We don’t know what to do. FML
Today, I took my dog for a walk. He became friendly with another dog, and I reached down to pet them both. Suddenly, an old woman ran up to me and whacked me with her cane repeatedly. Apparently, her previous dog had been kidnapped by a woman who looked a lot like me. FML
Today, a crazed woman started screaming at me at the dog park. She was saying that I was cruel and unfit to be a pet owner, and she ought to kick my ass. My dog's ears and tail were cropped before I even got him. He’s a rescue and came to me like this. She wouldn’t listen and followed me to my car. FML
Today, I had a date with a woman. She brought her dog along. Everytime I touched her, her jealous male dog began to bark and tried to bite me. FML
Today, I went to let my dog inside because she was barking. I saw my neighbour standing at my fence, screaming that she was going to kill my dog with a shovel for barking at her. My dog was only doing it because my neighbor was putting her trash in my garbage bin. This isn't a new thing. FML
Today, I took my dog to the park. While chatting with another dog owner, my dog managed to steal their sandwich and ran off with it. I had to chase my sandwich-thieving dog through the entire park. FML
Today, I took my new puppy to the dog park, proud of my cute little fluff ball. Instead of behaving nicely like the other dogs present, my dog ignored every toy, treat and friendly dog, and ran straight into a pond. He emerged soaked, covered in mud, and proudly dropped a muddy stick at my feet like it was a trophy. FML
Today, I told my friend I was considering adopting a dog. She looked at me like I was Satan and went on a rant about how dogs are "born evil" and will always maul someone given the chance. I still have the marks from when one of her psycho cats sliced open my arm last month. FML
Today, I took my dog to the puppy park to meet girls. I met one very attractive girl, she loved my puppy, and she asked for my number. As she took out her phone, my dog defecated on her feet. She was wearing sandals. FML
Today, I took my dog to the dog park and let him off the leash for a bit. He ran straight towards a group of people having a picnic, jumped on their blanket, and devoured half of their food before I could catch him. They were surprisingly forgiving, but I had to buy them lunch to make up for it. FML

I apologize for a saddening/serious comment, but she seems to have had a bad experience with black people. Abuse possibly? Or your dog is totally racist. You choose whichever you prefer.

You guys are all out of your minds. Dogs are unable to see in colour, they see in black and white. So I you think about why he's barking, it makes sense. People with darker ethnicities are harder to see, therefore they are almost like "wandering ghosts." ANY dog would do the same, unless he/she has a black owner, in which case they are used to it.

Ever watch a black and white TV? There are still shades of gray. It's still possible to distinguish between skin colors.

Yea because when I watch something in black and white I can't tell who the black people are at all!!

Dogs don't actually see in black and white, they see in shades of blue-ish and yellow colours.

Where is everyone getting the idea that dogs see in black and white?

meow234: I don't know. People should do their research before they start stating things like they're facts. Which is why I did: According to Pedigree.com "Veterinarians used to believe that dogs saw only in black and white, but recent studies suggest that they actually do have some color vision—but it's not as bright as a human's. As it turns out, dogs have only 20% of the cone photoreceptor cells—the part of the eye that controls the perception of color—that humans have." So they have SOME color vision, just not as much as we do. kidpurp: I hope you realize you contradicted yourself. "dogs can only see in black and white." "black people." Made the connection yet? You should think about changing your name to kidderp.

My dog doesn't like men, especially if they're wearing glasses or hats. He has gotten a lot better since we adopted him but still wary around men until he realises we're okay with them then he relaxes but is still wary, he was abused before we got him,

Uhh, it actually sounded to me like the dog was previously abused BY black people, nothing about the previous owner being racist.

I sort of thought that everyone knew this. They look like shadows to dogs due to their limited color-seeing ability (no, they don't see in black and white). Dogs are intimidated. It has nothing to do with racism.
