Is it true that dogs are color blind and see only in black and white?
No. A Skeptics StackExchange answer directly addresses the claim and states it is false: dogs are red-green colorblind (dichromats), not greyscale-seeing animals. A philosophy book briefly repeats the black-and-white notion, but only in passing.
