Among the pervasive myths of humane work is that most street
dogs are castoff pets, or are chiefly descended from pets. Though
most street dogs may have some pet or working dog ancestors, most
dogs worldwide have been street dogs for as long as streets have
existed. Globally, most dogs still are street dogs. Even in the
U.S. and Britain, pet dogs have outnmbered street dogs for less than
a century.
