OUR NAME

What’s in a name?

You may be thinking our name came from the Led Zeppelin song of the same name. However, the original black dog, Dinky, was a 110-pound Labrador Retriever who belonged to the founder of BlackDog.

Today, we honor our favorite black dog through our agency’s name and icon, created in his silhouette.
