The Black Dogs Project
The Black Dogs Project: Extraordinary Black Dogs and Why We Can't Forget Them | Fred Levy
18 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Combat Black Dog Syndrome worldwide; a portion of all proceeds from Black Dog Project will be donated to black dog rescue. One of Tumblr's most viral blogs of 2014, the Black Dogs Project is a stunning photo series by animal photographer Fred Levy. Known as "Black Dog Syndrome" in animal shelters and rescues, it refers to the unfortunate phenomenon that black dogs are frequently the LAST dogs to be adopted and the FIRST dogs to be euthanized in rescue shelters. Animal photographer Fred Levy couldn't believe that it was true, so he began talking with shelters. Not only does the phenomen exist, but he discovered it's an epidemic. Levy decided to turn his camera lens to black dogs, showing the world how beautiful they truly are. He called the photo series, The Black Dogs Project, and the stunning photographs have been shared worldwide, spreading awareness and attention to the problem. A portion of all proceeds for Black Dogs Project will be donated to black dog rescue.

Sending love to @FantasyChick today. This was my furbaby, Rosie. We had to say goodbye to her over two years ago. It was really hard, but all the memories with her are a comfort. I'm sure your furbaby, Sam, was just as cherished 🐶💙

Tanzy13 🐶 6y
FantasyChick Hugs to you! And thank you for sharing. She was absolutely beautiful 😍 And yes, our Sam was a sppiled and good boy. His loss will be felt for a long time but knowing he had a great life makes us feel like we did something right there 😘 6y

Just had to share a moment from this morning...Some of you have #KAL (kitties against literacy). I have a #PAL (Pilot against literacy). He came up on the couch, stood over my book so I couldn‘t read, and then laid down ON my lap, pinning my arm to my side so I can‘t turn pages. #dogsoflitsy #pilot #readingbuddy?

@Balibee146 It‘s kind of hard to tell, but Pilot is literally laying on top of me. He‘s pinned my arm to my side underneath his fat butt. 😂😂#snugglebunny #lapdog #whatdoyoumeaniamnotalapdog #dogsoflitsy

This is my #perfectpet, Pilot. He can be dumb as a box of rocks at times, but I've never met a bigger sweetheart. His sister, who I lost in June, was better suited to me temperamentally (God knows I miss her attitude!), but he's a good boy and I love him. #awesomeautumnbooks

mabell I'm so sorry to hear you recently lost your girl. 😔 Pilot looks like such sweetie ♥️ Is he the one that likes to be vacuumed? 😂 7y
DGRachel @mabell Thank you. I miss her so much. Yes! Pilot begs to be vacuumed with the DustBuster! He's so weird. 😂🤣😂 7y

I don't have any "people" ice cream in my house, so this is the best I can do for #booksandicecream

saresmoore Hahaha! I love it! 7y
mabell Haha fun! Our Bella LOVES ice cubes. She comes running when the freezer is opened, so I bet she would be in favor of ice cream treats! 7y
respekt1111 My dogs need those! (They just told me😁) 7y
DGRachel @mabell @respekt1111 All of my dogs have always loved ice cream. They used to be random treats, but when my mom came to live with us, she turned them into a nightly thing and after a week or two there was no stopping daily ice cream! 7y

Not book related-I just noticed that yesterday's Pilot picture cut off most anything that actually looked like a dog, and I felt he deserved better. So, here's a gratuitous picture of my handsome baby boy. You're welcome. 😂 #dogsoflitsy #readingcompanion #Pilot
