Moscow's feral dogs have learned to take the subway
Feral dogs have become a huge problem in Moscow. These packs of wild dogs roam the streets attacking people and other dogs, and generally making a nuisance of themselves. But the dogs have proven quite resourceful as well: recently they have learned how to take the subway.
Moscow's feral dogs are using the subway to commute from the peaceful suburbs (where they sleep at night) to the city's urban core (where they forage for food during the day). The dogs choose the quietest cars at the front and rear of the train, and even warn each other when their stop is approaching.
In addition to commuting, the dogs have also learned to forage schawarma from Moscow residents: they sneak up behind someone carrying the delicious treat and bark loudly. The schawarma-holder, startled, drops the meat - which the dogs quickly snatch up from the street.
What's next for Moscow's feral dog population? Mugging people for cash?
