Selecting Tricky Areas in Photoshop?

[The Boosh!]

Tried googling the above but couldn't find what i'm after.

I'm trying to make the background of an image all black - The only thing is the image is of a dog, so there are lots of small bits of hair/whiskers etc hanging off him, which I want included in the image. How do I do it?

Lasso tool and pen tool are no good as I will be there for years drawing around him.

Pen tool for me.

Years or not it's the most accurate. You could use the magic selection tool but it'll be rough as your face the morning after a night out! Post the pic up?

Don't give up. This is obviously intended for brownie points, so just put a bit more effort in.
