Abstract

Dog population studies reveal that approximately 60% of the world's dogs live in human homes, contrary to previous claims that most are free-roaming. Recent analyses also show a strong correlation between dog populations and human density, providing valuable insights for animal shelters, pet policies, and urban planning.
