Where did the feral dog originally come from?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Feral cats are descended from domestic cats but are born and live without human contact. Any environment that sustains people can sustain feral cats, who are known to have thrived in urban, suburban, and rural areas in all parts of the civilized world. They are not to be confused with wild cats or with stray cats (alley cats). Wild cats are descendants of wild species. Stray cats are homeless or abandoned domestic cats, but unlike feral cats, have had prior contact with humans and therefore exhibit temperament similar to that of a domestic cat

Answer 3

Feral dogs are domesticated dogs that have either been abandoned or have reverted to a wild state. They typically originate from domesticated dog populations that have lived in close proximity to humans. Over time, these dogs may have strayed from human settlements and formed feral groups.
