I am delighted that the idea was accepted for its survival value as intended.
Dog is much better tasting than monkey!
And last I was told the only monkeys currently living in UK outside of zoos and medical laboratories were serving in Parliament....

Dogs are pack animals and it is their instinct to band together. If you are the Alpha then they are more likely to remain loyal to you - it's down to you to ensure that. It takes a long time for a dog to go "feral" - they would mostly be just trying to survive by scavenging. Highly unlikely that they would suddenly turn into wolf-like creatures.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

I think this goes for most animals even so called "wild" ones, the exception being the MINK..stay away from them at all costs, they are vicious and unafraid ., I have heard tales of anglers being attacked for their catch

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.

was having a similar conversation with the wife when walking our terrier this morning. as soon as TSHTF and there are loose dogs about I'm getting hold of a lurcher and a spaniel before they go feral.

it is fairly well known that bats carry rabies.

the Daily Fail scraping the bottom of the barrel again.... that chap sadly passed away in 2002! When we have the same Rabies problem among our wildlife as US has, I'll give it some consideration.
