This day remembered us that we should adopt black dogs who are desperately waiting for adoption. This holiday is also very similar to Black Cat appreciation day.

People also don’t like their stereotypical behavior of black dogs. Plenty of beautiful black dogs still not succeed in getting adoption simply due to their fur color. To minimize the absurd superstitions about black dogs and to educate the people how adorable black dogs are – the National Black Dog Day is celebrated (1st October) every year in the month of October.

Who Created National Black Dog Day:
An American pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige created Black Dog Day. In the year 2013 Colleen Paige visited an animal shelter to adopt a pet dog but she was surprised to see a seriously injured black dog. Her eyes were wet when she inquired about the dog from the animal shelter’s staff. The staff told her that nobody wants to adopt a black dog. From here Colleen Paige got to know the bizarre phenomenon about black dogs.
Colleen Paige adopted the dog and gave the name “Sailor”. She looked after the Sailor and provided the best available medical treatment. She also provided the best food, the best living environment, and all other needs. After a complete year, the dog recovered from such horrible conditions.
On October 1st, 2014 a sad incident happened, Colleen Paige’s adopted black dog Sailor passed away from liver cancer. Colleen Paige formed Black Dog Day on October 1, to highlight the plight of black dogs. The basic purpose of this day is to encourage people to adopt black dogs.
