Test for Aggressive Street Dogs in Sofia


To combat the problem of aggressive unowned dogs on the streets of Sofia, a method for assessing canine aggression applicable to dogs living in the street has been worked out through international consultation (see report by Animal Rescue Sofia). The hope is to make the streets a safer place without the unnecessary removal and euthanasia of street dogs that do not cause a problem but were the subject of unsubstantiated allegations from people with a dislike of strays.

This sounds like a very good step in the right direction but, unfortunately, I have not yet been able to see the details of the 7-step test, which I’m sure has potential to benefit many other cities worldwide.
