The best thing to come out of this show (based on what most people asks me when they see my black GSD) is that the average TV viewer will not know that the black dog is a German Shepherd. The worst thing is that, when dogs are used on a show of this type, it just gives too many people the idea that dogs are dangerous and need the be controlled by more laws.
