[nagdu] Getting in trucks

[Raven Tolliver]

If the dog refused to use the ramp, the color might have had something
to do with it. Certain dark shades or blacks look like holes in the
ground to dogs. This is related to the fact that dogs only see in
2-dimension. This is why, depending on what color you're wearing, you
can literally flatten yourself against a wall or lean into a corner
and hide from your dog. Try it some time, it's hilarious.
Anyway, make sure the color is something that stands out to a dog.
