A Mongrel Dog in the Mountain

During the time that I am working in Kalinga province in my country, I need to hike three mountains before reaching Barangay Sumadel. It is a field work that nobody wants to try. It takes a lot of time to reach the highest peak of the mountain. I need to set off from the house as early as possible. If not, you will easily be exhausted because the heat of the sun is so extreme. I was so entertained seeing the rice paddies in the mountainside.
If you were greeted by a mongrel dog, it is a sign that you are near in the dwelling place of the local tribes. I took this photo while he stops growling at me. I didn’t dare to touch it. It might bite and be inflicted with rabies.

I do not have one, but I have seen a few.
Yes one must be careful as rabies.
He looks pretty docile now that he had stopped growling lol
He looks very strong, I love him.
He is a legend of the mountain

@Shavkat Yes you could train him most definitely with food treats. I like him, he looks good. What kind of dog do you think he is mixed with, what breeds Shavkat? Yes, he looks a bit lacking in his belly..hungry.

@TiarasOceanView Actually, I can't figure it out what his breed. In my country, we call them "askal" or "street dog." I was trying to find the exact breed of it.

Trixie is our mutt. and all our dogs received the anti-rabies vaccine already, so the person they might bite is free from having rabies.

@Shavkat good to know that that dog is not wild. by wild, i mean it does not bite any human being all at once.

We have many of those dogs here. Mongrel, mutt, street dogs what ever you call them they are a sturdy breed and make good watchdogs. And no, you don't pet them...they are semi domesticated . Only the owners can have come control over them.The ones in homes are very territorial and the street dogs are not threatening...you just avoid them.We have four.

We have a lot of mongrel dogs around. And some just let them be adopted. I'm not sure but giving food like bread does the trick.

He's a very pretty dog but I wouldn't reach my hand out to pet him if he's a mongrel
