Dogs hunt in groups and hunt by the saying that "there is safety in numbers".

By hunting in groups, they can overpower animals much larger than themselves (like caribou for example). Being opportunists, they will often go after a sick, injured, or dying animal.

They also have a "pecking order" in which one dog will be the leader and the others will fallow sute.
