She was one of a litter of 6 abandoned lab/pit bull mix puppies, the others were either tan or chocolate. I chose her because she was the friendliest and I guess I should say - she picked me.

If you every go to a shelter, the majority of the dogs and cats 'left behind' are black. Superficial prejudice isn't limited to people.
