    Some people have the mistaken idea that white people smell like wet dogs when they come in from the rain. These are folks who fail to recognize that wool smells a bit like a wet dog. White people, originating in northern Europe, tend to regard wool as a desirable fabric, and often wear in in cold, wet weather. Hence the question which figures on the title of the book advertised on this web page.

    White people smell like wet dogs when they come out of the rain because they are more likely to be wearing wool in cold, wet weather than black people. Black people are more likely to be wearing polyester clothing, which has no smell when wet. When wet, wool exudes the smell of lanolin, the natural oil from the sheep. It does smell somewhat like wet dogs.
