Pye-dog
(Redirected from Pariah Dog)
Pye-dog, or sometimes pariah dog, is a term used to describe an ownerless, half-wild, free-ranging dog that lives in or close to human settlements throughout Asia. The term is derived from the Sanskrit para, which translates to "outsider".[1][2][3][4]
The United Kennel Club uses the term pariah dog to classify various breeds in a sighthound and pariah group.[5]
