Big Black Dog Syndrome

I have 2 big black dogs. Labs - more or less.

Now it turns out they're scary... just because they're big and black:

According to animal shelter officials, big, black dogs like Gozer have more trouble finding a happy home than do other dogs. Some shelters even have a name for it: "Big black dog syndrome."

I hope my dogs are grateful.
People think they're hateful,
but I feed them anyway,
even twice a day!
