A More Detailed Look at Black Dog Syndrome

Back in September of 2010, we posted a short blog article on Black Dog Syndrome. We briefly defined black dog syndrome and pointed out that statistics were hard to find relating to the phenomenon.  I recently became aware of an extremely detailed report (including those hard to find statistics) on not only black dog syndrome, but also relating to black cat syndrome!

The researcher, statistician, scientist and author of the report is a second grader from Austin named Parker!!  Parker completed her science project on black dog syndrome and provided a ton of useful information in her report.  Parker’s report has pictures, statistics from her classmates, statistics from Town Lake Animal Center and Austin Pets Alive!  She explains her methodology and procedures and lists a clear conclusion and Parker even has pie charts to show her results.

So with all of the great research, did Parker come to the conclusion that black dog and black cat syndrome exist in Austin?  Well you’re just going to have to read her report to find out!  Great job Parker!
