Coexistence of Diversified Dog Socialities and Territorialities in the City of Concepción, Chile

Abstract
1. Introduction
1.1. Background: Research on Forms of Canine Territoriality
1.2. Emergence of the Various Categories of Domestic Dogs
- -
- restricted dogs, which are totally dependent upon people: all their essential needs are intentionally met by humans, who also restrict their movement;
- -
- family dogs, which have owners on whom they depend, although they may be free to roam. Their reproduction is supervised by humans;
- -
- stray dogs, which include dogs living in a human-dominated context. This is a heterogeneous group: it includes dogs that still have a social bond with humans, possibly abandoned or born in human settings, and which tend to associate food with particular households [29,30], even when the homeowners claim that the dogs do not belong to them (Type I) [31] and dogs that exhibit varying degrees of fear/tolerance toward humans (Type II). These dogs are attracted to human settings by the availability of food and shelter, regardless of whether these resources are intentionally provided by humans or just casually associated with them. They have close proximity to humans, and beg from them rather than scavenging [32]. These two types of stray dogs, with two possible levels of relationship toward humans, are sometimes referred to as village dogs [31,33]. They are found roaming in many of the large cities of the Mediterranean basin (Istanbul, Alexandria);

- Here is a typical instance of dogs following pedestrians to use a crosswalk. [accessed on 21 December 2019]
- In this video, it is not possible to determine how the dog crosses the crosswalk. [accessed on 21 December 2019]
- This video shows that the dog uses a bridge to cross the street, as there is no crosswalk. [accessed on 21 December 2019]
