Can a dog be racist?

The dog that bit my child is racist - mom - Sowetan LIVE
Nkosi said the dog's owner, Sean Norman, had not come to see the child nor contributed to her medical bills.

I didn't read the article but my bestest friend's black lab/great dane only growls at black people.


It embarasses the heck out of her.

NO....

if this happens... it happens because the dog was not socialized enough or correctly with ALL TYPES of people..... color, sex, size...etc. and situations


There are dog that are afraid of men.... women.... kids.... as well..

when the dog is a puppy is the most impressionable time in their life... if they were not exposed to a certain type of person, situation or whatever... could play a large role on how they perceive things as they grow up.

also if the puppy was going thru their fear stage (all puppies will go thru several of these and certain weeks of age) ...and have a bad experience with a certain type of person or situation...then that has been etched into their mind.

"I feel that the dog is racist. The way it behaved. It shows that it was not familiar with other races."

This woman doesn't seem to understand what "racist" means.

What she means to say is that the dog has not undergone appropriate diversity training, which I recommend the owner take care of immediately in case the dog ever wants to hold a government position.
