It’s National Black Dog Day – 1st October
Started in 2012, October 1st is National Black Dog Day! It’s a day to get the word out and encourage people to adopt black dogs, who often get left behind in shelters just because of the colour of their fur.
Referred to as “Black Dog Syndrome”, this is a phenomenon where black dogs are passed over for adoption in favour of lighter-colored animals 🙁
Among dogs, yellow dogs were considered friendliest, brown dogs second friendliest, and black dogs least friendly. Darker pets were similarly judged less adoptable and black dogs were considered the most aggressive.
The term “black dog” is most commonly used to describe a state of depression, characterised by either poor behaviour or the lack of will to do anything, including things you once loved.
Not to be confused with National Dog Day on August 26th which encourages dog ownership of all breeds – when seeking a new companion, be sure to consider the mutts, mixes, purebreds, and everything in between 🙂
The Dog’s Trust have lauched a National Dog Survey. They’re calling on all dog owners to take 10 minutes to let them know how their dog has been coping since the pandemic began. Your answers will help them ensure a moment for all owners to unite for the happiness of their dogs. As all dogs begin to adjust to the new normal, they are there to help..

The Comrades Arms Opens At 6pm Tomorrow
Opening it’s door tomorrow (Friday 1st Oct) at 6pm is The Comrades Arms in the Lewesdon Room, upstairs at the Comrades Hall in Broadwindsor.
Recently returned from France, village resident Andrew Hookings will be running the Comrades Arms as an individual, along with the support of volunteers. He did this several years ago, for a period of 4 weeks inbetween landlords Rich & Kate Moulsdale and Spike & Vikki who had the tenancy at The White Lion. It proved very successful and the proceeds, almost £2,000, went to the village hall.
Andrew commented: “The Comrades Arms will provide a venue in the heart of the community for people to get together socially and enjoy a drink, whilst the White Lion is closed.
With the “Save The White Lion” campaign getting off the ground soon, it seems appropriate for the proceeds from The Comrades Arms to go to such a worthy cause.”
As well as being open at the weekend, the Comrades Arms will be open on a Tuesday evening for those who’d like to eat their fish ‘n’ chips from Nat’s van with a drink.
With some stock and supplies, £400 worth this week, being sourced through Broadwindsor Community Stores, our village shop should benefit too 🙂
Other ales and ciders have also been sourced locally.
It is hoped that you will be able to use your debit card tomorrow night but bring cash – just in case!
