They smell out another animal and then they fight and kill the other animal and them they eat it. usually domestic pets are given food but wild dogs sometimes scare off people with food so they drop it...then they eat it...also they go through garbage cans.

They typically run down a small animal, pounce on it and break its back or neck. They might also grab it by the nape of its neck and shake it. Some dogs will grab an animal, such as a rat, and toss it into the air to break its neck. A dog might grab a larger animal by the throat and suffocate it. Also, dogs can hunt in packs like wolves, chasing and biting a large animal until it weakens and falls.
