[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first dog was like this. She was a rescue at age 2 from Loudoun co. I talked to the vet and the vet said that the darker someone’s skin is, the harder it is for a dog to see. They just see a shadow, can’t make out features. So if your dog has only seen white people in the beginning few months or years if life, they’re confused by the darker skin and that’s why they act they way they do. [/quote] In college, one of my roommate's rescued a dog who had been abused by her family's neighbor and we kept the dog while her family was moving. The dog often responded poorly to people, especially men, with darker skin. That had been her primary abuser. I wonder if the shadowy features she could make made her think it was her abuser. And yes, it was embarrassing. Especially since my boyfriend at the time and several of our friends fit that profile and it was very awkward when dog reacted to them and not our white male friends.
