Taken at Currumbin Sanctuary where I used to be a volunteer. The 4 dingo brothers were raised there as pups and I was privilaged to be allowed in with them. (Can't get near them in the wild - nor would you want to.)

Haha Yes it looks like it hey. They chewed my shoelaces to bits and were all over me as they didn't know me. They're more intelligent than dogs they say.

Daring, isn't that dangerous?! How can one see the difference between dogs and dingo's?

Thanks so much for your kind words. "Mrawie", in answer to your question, dingos were probably brought here to Australia 4000 years ago by Asian sailors. They don't bark, have a long, mournful howl (eerie in the bush), have pups just once a year and the male dingo helps to raise the pups. (Dogs breed at leasts twice a year). There have been attacks on children. Who remembers "The dingo took my baby"? They've only become a danger to people in tourist areas, when they come too close looking for food.
