Indian Pariah Dogs
Outside Kaziranga National Park
State Of Assam

Every village in India seems to have the dogs running around free. I could not tell if the dogs belonged to anyone. Another image of a pye-dog can be seen in the first comment section
The Indian pariah dog, also known as the Indian native dog or INDog, South Asian pye dog and Desi Kutta, is a landrace of dog native to the Indian subcontinent. They have erect ears, a wedge-shaped head, and a curved tail. It is easily trainable and often used as a guard dog and police dog and has been around for centuries.
This dog is an example of an ancient group of dogs known as pye-dogs. It is possible that the ancestry of this dog dates back 4,500 years.
Though most street dogs in the Indian subcontinent are in fact Indian pye-dogs, the names for this breed are often erroneously used to refer to all urban South Asian stray dogs despite the fact that some free-ranging dogs in the Indian subcontinent do not match the "pariah type" and may not be pure indigenous dogs but mixed breeds, especially around locations where European colonists historically settled in India, due to mixing with European dog breeds. - Wikipedia
