I believe that we have misunderstood dogs as a species, both their
evolution and their current role in the world.
The vast majority of dogs are living as loved pets and wonderfully
talented working animals. Dogs are beautifully designed for these roles as
owned animals. However, there are also a great many dogs in warmer climates that
live close to people but are unowned. To me these animals are not stray, they
are doing exactly what nature designed them to do and on the whole they are not
a problem to the humans they live around.
The real problem lies in the space between the owned dogs and the
natural scavenger dogs and that is the issue I wish to explore in this dog
blog.
As well as writing my own pieces I will post stray dog stories and news
from around the globe that I hope can help to bring about a fuller
understanding of our best friend’s place in the world.
I recognise that some of my views do not reflect many peoples' attitude to
dogs. I just ask that you read with an open mind and discuss with civility.
Adrian Hillman.
