A legendary ghost that is said to have lived in the Hanging Hills in Connecticut. (Please be aware the area is named after the terrain found in the area, as far as I'm aware of no hangings have happened there.) According to the legend, if you see it once, it is a sign of joy and good luck. If you see it a second time, it is a warning. If an individual sees the dog a third time, it considered to be a death omen. It is thought by some to be responsible for the deaths of six people, including two U.S. geological surveyors in the late 1,800s who didn't respect its previous warnings because they assumed the legend was a myth even though both supposedly had seen the black dog prior to meeting their demises. In a way it could be argued that the Black dog of the Hanging Hills is a symbol of power for the dead and individuals who are trying to stand to the U.S. government because of their inconsiderate actions against various populations.
The story about the Black Dog of the Hanging Hills was originally published the Connecticut Quarterly in 1898. It was originally thought to be piece of fiction, but that has been debated for a number of years now due to the author's background, the story's original title, the number of people died in the Hanging Hills, and various other things related to the story.

Get the the Black Dog of the Hanging Hillsmug. The Singing Dog Effect is named for a musical artist in the furry fandom who uses the tagline in their songs. It describes the phenomenon that musicians in the furry fandom are just as capable of creating good music as those outside of the community, but when the song is explicitly about furry culture it is often regarded as not as good as their other work.
Caramel: "Did you hear Nondistinct Furry Band's new song?"
Pepper: "Yeah but to be honest I didn't really like it. The Singing Dog Effect strikes again."

Get the Dogmug. 
(noun) A dog who's primary motivation in life is eating people food from the table. Food dogs are typically fixed and have owners with bad habits of feeding them. Almost 100% of beagles are food dogs.
"Fido is kind of just a food dog now that he's fixed. He doesn't need to impress the ladies so hes always under my feet at the table"
