A real thing that happens when people are adopting a dog and if it is big and black it will often be passed over for a lighter dog.

The act of mistreating a peer or someone inferior to you out of frustration because a superior (whom you can't argue with) has treated you poorly.
Apparently he came home and just started yelling. It's kick-the-dog syndrome: his boss is an asshole and he takes it out on her.

Hound Dog Syndrome is found to be derived from stretched, flabby skin being left over after rapid weight-loss of at least 80 pounds. HDS (Hound Dog Syndrome) affects the stomach, thighs, hips, breasts, and upper arms the most. One severe case of HDS, when a woman lost over 250 pounds, she was shattered to find that she had three wrinkly slabs of floppy skin draping down her abdominals.

Dogs who are kept outside in a yard at night can have a tendency to develop Night Dog Syndrome aka Vampire Dog Syndrome. This results when for reasons such as inadequate bedding, insufficient daily exercise from the owner to tire the animal, disturbance by other nocturnal animals or it being too cold or too noisy at night. The animal is unable to sleep through the night and its sleeping pattern is reversed from normal to that of a night shift worker. The canine can often be witnessed displaying the greatest levels of its daily energy quota after midnight, in the early hours of the morning, often seen leaping and prancing around the the yard, hunting, barking and guarding and/or bolting up and down the the fence line with great vigor. The animal will have more of a tendency towards delinquency including ignoring basic commands and destroying anything that it can get its teeth around during times of boredom. Contributing to the condition is the fact that the animal is forced to sleep during the day in direct or indirect sunlight which disturbs the natural melatonin cycle. The skills and motor patterns of these animals may become irregular and can often degrade to bizarre and down right frightening, the stuff from horror movies folks, as the animal slips further into the vicious cycle of NDS.
Ralph the dog developed Night Dog Syndrome due the presence of nocturnal possums in the trees of the yard where he was kept at night. The owners eventually put down the animal ahead of his time due to his bizarre and unruly behavior. They were ignorant and unaware of his condition.
