Black Dogs Project

Fred Levy’s Black Dogs Project photographs dark-coated canines in hopes of helping to counter black dog syndrome, a phenomenon in which black dogs are adopted at a lower rate—and euthanized at a higher rate—than dogs with lighter coats. The portraits are beautiful, ennobling and, well, humanizing.
