Detroit Stray Dog Video

This video by a Detroit rapper tells the story of stray dogs in the city and his desire to help them.

Often in this blog I avoid using the word “stray” as many unowned dogs around the world are exactly where they belong and do not fit the term but in this case “stray” is exactly the right word to use. These are abandoned pets, ill-prepared for the lifestyle of unwanted outcasts and ill-suited for the harsh winters.

Many do survive and some perhaps even thrive but the difference between these struggling, wary animals and the village dogs living as accepted, valued members of communities in parts of Asia, for example, is striking and highlights the need to draw a distinction between them.
