Singaporean Village Dogs are true island survivors! For thousands of years they’ve carved out a life in the varied landscapes of Singapore—free-ranging, breeding independently, and figuring things out on their own with little interference (and maybe a few scraps) from the people nearby!

Fun Fact

Village Dogs in Singapore are often referred to as “Singapore Specials,” a name that reflects their unique local heritage.
