The
Dingo is one of the very few dogs in the world that is unable to bark. It is not
a silent dong, however, as it makes up for not barking by howling and whining
very loudly indeed. Dingoes are a very ancient breed of wild dog from Australia.
They are probably quite closely related to the primitive dogs from which our
domestic dogs of today evolved. Dingoes must have arrived in Australia with the

Aborigines of today still rear pups and train them for hunting. Dingoes are
considered as wild in Australia because of the large number of sheep and cattle
they kill every year.
