Almost all the black folks I’ve seen have black dogs, I guess he was using some diplomacy to pick one with white feet.
We have one black dog out of our four, his name is Ramses, he has white feet, a white chest, and white paws. We, however, are NOT black folk.
Saw a black guy the other day riding in his car with a wee, bitty bichon frise. (or whatever those cute little creatures are)
