im sure its a good cause , but that has got to be the worst place for me ..
i have an irrational fear of dogs i believe its called Cynophobia ..
my head says that dogs are probably ok ..probably ...
but when they come toward me ,,usually to sniff or something I need to have an invisible force field to keep them about 5 mts away or so ..i always turn so that the dog always has to be in front of me ... not to the side or , god forbid , behind me ...
I have never kicked a dog ..but the irrational fear of them as they approach says ... ''panic ,, get it away ,, kick it away ...''
hence irrational
my friends say ...''aw hes a nice dog he doesnt bite or do anything , he just wants to say hello ... ''
that really doesnt help ...
I dont think dogs like me anyway ....cats come to me often , even strays .. im fine with cats .. i have 2 ...
Sorry Simon ...good cause , but thats one church that i cant enter ever until its been cleaned and i would have to check in all the corners to see none were left behind ...
irrational ....

Searching for something else (the search function rarely actually worked for me), I came across this thread again.
Thought to add something that could be of informational value to those interested.
Small dogs usually have less chances to survive as strays in regions where strays are largely common.
Less because of bigger ones attacking them (which you would expect to be happening only from freshly released ones who were kept under neurotic making conditions), but because dogs unlike wolves aren´t prepared to share. So, small dogs tend to stay low on the feeding range / often won´t be making it for long.
That is why here in Middle East you see almost exclusively big dogs straying. -Or rather mid-sized ones to be more precise, as larger specimens get killed soon through action of the people who fear them. (To which fact also add further circumstances, like: # Abandoned ones often times being shepherd dogs which will be simply dissed when the shepherd sell herds to sloughter house -not seldomly midst urban eras-. # Guarding dogs being abandoned when real estate has been sold, as the new owner fear the animal / get themselves some new puppies (preferably pre 3 month of age / at ~ 2 or 3 weeks, as they expect it to become more devoted to themselves).
Also stray dogs who trust will often times be doomed. Being shy and vary is mandatory to make it through for more than 2 or 3 years. (Which is why good-willing people or tourists make a basic mistake with luring them.)
They will either be caught and tortured for pastime, or caught for to expose them to raging specimens who are being trained that way as fighting dog.
- Demonstrating one more time the lacking character of people who conduct pits. For strays being highly socialized with fellows of their species, and absolutely gotten by surprise / not anticipating the fury of the attack, fully exposed / just torn into pieces.
-
Asides, one bit I observe which seems to counter the firmness of imprint respectively lack of imprint in puppy age, as being colported in special realms / kynology:
Dogs here are being raised and kept almost exclusively as sociopaths. So when they get abandoned they are incompatible with the packs and solo strays. Yet, I think to have observed examples that showed how they over time learned to socialize despite maturity.
Remarkable at that how patient and forgiving advanced strays are, allowing for the apathetic and greatly fearing / aggressive newcomers to learn.
In general higher developed animals appear to be more flexible with overcoming individuals original forming than science accounts them for. In fact, so it seems to me, more so than humans, if you consider whereabouts of attempts to resocialize abandoned humans. (And even yet the intellectual stubborness of socially / factually sophisticated.)
And anyway, humans not brought up adequately / humanely present the worst creature of all.
Or to say it in a constuctive way: It is extremely essential to ensure appropriate education of humans, as they depend on it like no other species in order to become a being of their own.
As an all-learning species they need to learn yet the most self-evident things.
