Are dogs racists?
Pa. Police Dog Suspended; Bit Black Child
MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. (AP) - A police dog has been suspended while investigators try to determine whether the animal has something against black children. The dog, a German shepherd named Dolpho, was cleared two years ago of attacking a child because he was black. But Dolpho was removed from duty on Monday after biting another black child. Dolpho attacked a 14-year-old black girl on Jan. 28 during a crime-prevention demonstration at a school but did not break the youngster's skin. The girl's parents said a white student petted the dog without incident before he attacked their daughter. In 2002, town officials ordered a two-month investigation to determine if Dolpho was singling out blacks while on patrol after the dog escaped from police vehicle and bit a 9-year-old black boy playing nearby. The dog was taken off duty, retrained for two months and returned to the force. City Councilwoman Wanda Jones Dixon, who is black, complained about the dog in 2002 and renewed her request that the animal be retired from the police force or put to sleep. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |

Of course dogs aren't racist, but I can't say the same thing about their handlers and trainers. FurPaw -- Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever. To reply, unleash the dog. |

I had a GSD that was reactive with hispanics. I moved with him to So.Cal. to
work on an Avocado Grove and he quickly got over his reaction. Exposure-or lack of exposure-has the same effect on dogs as it does on humans. |

Not per-say, but yes, dogs can and do react differently to people of
different races. A dog that has never seen or interacted with a person outside it's owner's race may be more prone to aggression or fear. -- Emily Carroll Fluttervale Labradors: www.fluttervale.com CPG: www.geocities.com/cyberpetgame/ 4-H Club: www.geocities.com/woofsandwiggles/ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
