October 1 marks the celebration of National Black Dog Day. In this episode, we explore why black dogs have their own, special day, a little touch of controversy over the data, and why black dogs make loving companions, just like other dogs.

We’re not too proud to beg. Consider giving us 5 starts in iTunes. It’s not that we think so highly of ourselves. But when we get 5 stars, we move up higher in the podcast charts and, therefore, exposed to more greyhound lovers and those considering adopting a greyhound.
