There are a handful of topics that will easily win me over, and dogs are one of them. I’ve heard again and again about the complex relationship that African-Americans have with dogs. Kenya Barris’ show “Black-ish” made a comical episode all about this myth, and “Ready to Love” even took on issues regarding house dogs.

I even had to deal with a racist owner, who just flat-out didn’t want anyone non-female or non-white to walk her dog. So even as a dog lover, I understand why the myth exists. But I was delighted to see the dog thread from Twitter user Mia’s alter ego Kenneth.*
