Pariah Dog

A pariah dog originally referred to the feral population of dogs in India, but has come to refer to any population of feral dogs who live around human villages, scavenging for food and seldom interacting directly with humans.

India has long been home to the Pariah Dog, one of the world’s oldest canine breeds. In slightly varied forms, the Pariah Dog has existed for over 14,000 years all over Asia and North Africa. Most rural families own at least one. As villages and rural areas turned into cities, these dogs became stray dogs.
