pet dogs turn into wild dogs.

It's not so much your own pet pooch that you need to worry about, as everyone elses'. All those statement Staffies, Alsations, Rotties and the little barsteward terrier at no.28 are the ones you need to be concerned with.

Some people do not care suffiently about their animals and discarding them to street life happens already.

There are already packs of dogs roaming our cities, it's simply luck that so far, they have not caused enough of a problem to make the news.

I'm with Mort, any stray (cat or dog) would have a one way ticket to animal heaven. Although we do not have Rabies in this country, there are still other diseases and more importantly parasites for which these animals are vectors as well as the physical attacks and resulting injury.
