They look so friendly

Hot take (I'll accept my downward facing arrows, thank you), but people regularly vastly overestimate the safety and docility of "regular" dogs too

If they don't kill you, they may steal your baby.

This is actually something being debated in Australia. Until a few years ago, Dingoes were considered the same species as the regular dog Canis familiaris. Recent DNA studies have shown them to be distinct, however. So now there's Canis dingo. Only, Dingoes can interbreed with the regular dog, which normally is the test for them being the same species. Maybe that makes them a subspecies?

So, yeah - even we don't know what they are. If they were raised by humans, they are happy friendly doggos. If in the wild, then they're dingoes.

B...but...if not friends why friendshaped??????

Don't go to Tasmania either.

Look at this cute guy!

I want to hold him and pet him and love him and- OH FUCK!

Do you pet random dogs on the street? No? Then you won't have any problems with Dingoes. Drop Bears on the other hand...

Holy shit, that looks so much like my Shiba

Everything in Australia can kill you

Any wild creature bigger than a rat is an animal you should be cautious of. I mean, I wouldn't pet a wild rat, either, but I'm also not afraid one will attack and kill me.

Wild dog packs roam lots of countries in south-east Asia. Don't fucking go near them. They will try to seperate you from other humans and take you down for a snack.

So weird though when you see, like, a golden retriever in their ranks. The urge to go pet them is too strong. I did a lot of catching myself walking towards them when I was in thailand.

I had a dingo. RIP Lucy girl

I'm scared. If it can fool Andy Warhol it can fool me.

CAN I PET THAT DAWG!?

Why friend shape if not friend?

Maybe these are those skinwalkers my Australian friend talks about...

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a friendly dingo!

My dog is actually descended from dingos. Part of their breed.

That shit's dingo.

I always wondered if Portuguese Podengos were brought back by explorers.

They aren't, but I like my story better

Come to think of it, they resemble quite a bit to the Japanese Akita.

Maybe the dingo took your baby.

Average pitbull owner mentality.

Thinking vicious animals will be friendly to everyone forever.
