I see that India is trying to get a handle on the stray dog problem, interestingly through judicial means. When the poor neighborhoods are marked by hungry, roaming, suffering carnivorous animals, civilization needs to adjust a few things. Those in the neighborhoods come to symbiosis with them, of course (with lapses and exceptions), but I can vouch for the fact that they have a different approach to the stranger.
The northern countries have solved the problem admirably by sterilizing them and leaving them in place, but the root of it is that people bring them into the place and then cast them out.
Local strays I've encountered have seemed quite docile. Much more like the country to the west in that respect than the one to the southwest.
