Finding Lost Dogs - Animal Behavior 8
Xenophobic (Fearful) Dogs
Having developed fearful temperaments due to genetics or their experiences as puppies, these dogs are more likely to:
- Travel farther and be at a higher risk of being hit by cars
- Actively seek quiet locations in which to hide
- Respond to other dogs
- Appear "abused"
- Run from their own owners if spooked
Rescuers may be reluctant to contact owners fearing the dog will be in for "more abuse."
