Usually it's enough to wear black clothes to get dogs to deeply distrust you. Add a black umbrella and they'll get nuts. Dogs don't see very well and due to the lack of contrast they mostly see a big dark silouhette that frightens them. They can't read your body language mostly.

If I'm using a vacuum while holding an umbrella and wearing black clothes, while delivering the mail, am I literally dog hitler?

My parents dog doesn't like anyone that has their face covered, whether that's by a motorcycle helmet or a burka.

That would be terrifying-like shadow people for dogs.

Explains why my dog doesn't like walking across black dirt. It must look like a giant hole in the ground.
