Street dogs , known in the scientific literature as free-range urban dogs or city-free dogs free dogs that live in the city. They live almost anywhere the cities exist and the local human population allows, especially in developing countries and the former Soviet Union. A street dog may be a wild dog, a pet that has gone astray from or allowed freedom by its owner, or perhaps a wild animal that has never been owned. Street dogs may be stray dogs, completely mixed marine dogs, or untrained pedestrians like Indian pariah dogs. Overpopulation of street dogs can cause problems for the communities in which they live, so campaigns to spay and castrate them are sometimes implemented. They tend to differ from free rural dogs in their skill set, socialization, and ecological effects.

Problems caused by street dogs
Bites
Like wolves, to survive, street dogs need to avoid conflict with humans. However, dog bites and dog attacks can occur when dogs try to pair or fight among themselves, and pedestrians and other humans around them can be bitten by fights.
Quality of life
Barking and howls and dog fights over marriage among dogs can be very disturbing to people, and the smell of dog piss (leptospirosis biohazard) which is a bad product of territorial marking can be very stinging, especially among dogs that have not been neutered or neutered, not to mention the presence of dirt (toxocariasis biohazard).

Skills and adaptation
Dogs are known as highly adaptive and intelligent species. To survive in modern cities, street dogs must be able to navigate traffic.
Some wild dogs in Bucharest look across the big streets of the pedestrian crossing. The dogs may notice that when humans cross the street with such a sign, the car tends to stop. Dogs have grown accustomed to pedestrian and car traffic; they sit patiently with the people on the side of the road when they stop for the red lights, and then cross with them as if it were a daily routine.
In cities in Russia and some other countries, street dogs are said to have been observed to learn to use subway and bus services.

Afghanistan
Nowzad is an organization in Afghanistan that works to rescue the stray dogs in the country. A group of wild dogs became famous in Afghanistan after facing a suicide bomber, preventing fifty American soldiers from being killed. However, one of the surviving dogs, Target, was incorrectly euthanized when it was brought to the United States.
India
As a result of the virtual annihilation by the veterinary medicine of diclofenac from the vultures previously eating dead animals and dead humans, urban India has two features that create and sustain street dog populations: a large number of open animal carcasses, which provide plenty of food sources, and populations large of slums and streets whose way of life includes keeping dogs as roaming free pets. For example, Mumbai has more than 12 million human inhabitants, of which more than half of the population lives in slums. At least five hundred tons of garbage remain unutilized every day. Therefore, his condition is perfect to support a huge wild dog population. India has the highest number of human rabies deaths in the world (estimated at 20,000 per year).
In 2001, a law was passed in India that made the killing of illegal wild dogs, and the inhabitants often fed the animals as well. In August 2014, Delhi Police announced plans to recruit some of the city's wild dogs as police dogs, after training them.
Pakistan
In Pakistan, some dog breeds exist including Gaddi Kutta, Indian pariah dog, Bully Kutta, among others. In the city of Lahore, the Ministry of Public Health launched a campaign to kill 5,000 stray dogs. In 2009, 27,576 dogs were killed in the city of Lahore; in 2005, this number is 34,942. In 2012, after 900 dogs were killed in the city of Multan, the Animal Security Organization in Pakistan sent a letter to the Chief Minister (CM) "Shahbaz Sharif recommends that wild dogs be vaccinated rather than killed."

Romanian
In Romania, free urban dogs (called in Romania ca  ¢ this maidanezi , literally "desert dogs", cÃÆ'  ¢ this comunitari "community dog", etc.) Having become a big problem in the last few decades, especially in big cities, with many people bitten by dogs. The problem mainly comes from the systematization program that took place in Communist Romania in the 1970s and 1980s under Nicolae Ceau? Escu, who authorized mass-clearance and reconstruction programs of existing villages, cities and towns, in whole or in part, were ordered to build standard block blocks (blocuri ). The dogs from the yard of the demolished houses were left on the streets, and reproduced, doubling their numbers for years. Estimates for Bucharest vary greatly, but the number of stray dogs has been drastically reduced by 2014, following the death of a 4-year-old boy in 2013 who was attacked by dogs. Bucharest City Hall stated that more than 51,200 stray dogs were arrested from October 2013 to January 2015, with more than half euthanized, about 23,000 adopted, and 2,000 still living in municipal shelters.
Russian
In Russia, wild dogs have been captured by dog ​​hunters and crushed since ca. 1900. Their sadness was dramatized by Anton Chekhov in the famous short story Kashtanka , by Mikhail Bulgakov in the novel Heart of a Dog , and by Gavriil Troyepolsky in the novel White Bim Black Ear .
Serbia
Dogs roam freely is a serious problem from the Serbian cities and rural areas, where they are attacked by people, including children. The total number of free dogs in Serbia is estimated to be tens of thousands, of which the largest group can be found in Belgrade (more than 17,000), Novi Sad (about 10,000), Ni? (between 7,000 and 10,000), Subotica (about 8,000) and Kragujevac (about 5,000).
