Today is National Black Dog Day.
Seems a bit strange, specifically black dogs, but apparently they are less likely to be chosen, and specifically adopted….
So, we are celebrating our very own black dog - Winston. He was born on my birthday. A surprise litter to our Border Collie Poppy who had a secret liaison with the Labrador next door 😉.
That makes Winston a Borador.
He is the most gorgeous, loving, loyal dog. He loves cuddles, his frizbee and many teddy bears and sausages, which he likes to be fed, from a fork.
Just like we should give all people a chance, and not judge a book by its cover. I would like to encourage any potential dog re-homers to consider all dogs, no matter their colour. It’s what’s on the inside that really counts.
