Where did the feral dog originally come from?

A "feral dog" is a regular ol' dog that has "escaped" domestication. That usually means it has grown up without learning how to behave around people, and that it has returned at least partially to wild dog behavior. Any kind of domestic dog can become feral, and can breed with other domestic or wild dogs, so they don't really come from anywhere - though they can establish communities that breed with themselves and become distinct kinds on their own. The Dingo is an example of a feral dog type.


Is your stray cat a feral cat?

Chances are that it may be, however there is a big possibility that it might not be a stray. For example, cats wander off to find prey, to find a partner or to join another colony of cats (for it is their natural thing to do) so it may not be stray. If there are cats in the woodlands or forests, it is likely for them to be feral. Big cats come from the wild, so there is not much difference when it comes to domestic cats.
