Alright, I know it isn't, but I just love this big dope. I finally got a decent photo of his face. Black dogs are so hard to photograph when you have a Kodak something-or-other little camera.
Here he is sleeping and showing his pearly whites.
One of the reasons I love black dogs is that you can see how healthy they are by the shine on their coats. Truman's coat is a deep coal black ~ just gorgeous. I never understood why large black dogs are the ones overlooked at shelters. I run to them.
(Please don't tell Darlene, my brindle, I also love black dogs. It would break her heart.)
He does have a super-glossy coat. I love the pic of him sleeping with his mouth hanging open.
