About

Absolute Leader Presence: Packs always have a commander called an "Alpha." The leader has the authority to decide on movements, distribution of prey, and territory defense. Strict Adherence to Ranking: Starting with the Alpha, there is a clear hierarchy (superior-subordinate relationship) within the pack. Former pets tend to be lower-ranked. Lower-ranked dogs avoid conflict by showing signs of submission to higher-ranked dogs, such as lowering their posture or flattening their ears. Eating in Order of Rank: When food (trash or small animals caught) is found, the leader and higher-ranking dogs eat first. Lower-ranking dogs wait for them to be full and share the leftovers. Breeding Restrictions: Basically, the right to leave descendants within the pack is prioritized for strong, high-ranking individuals. This ensures strong genes are passed on and controls the overall pack population. Boundary Marking: They use urine and pheromones to clearly define the boundaries of their territory. Relentless Exclusion of Intruders: If dogs from other packs or entities threatening the territory intrude, the entire pack will intimidate, attack, and drive them out. Balance of Vigilance and Dependence: Wild dogs and cats are wary of humans as the "greatest threat." Therefore, they basically flee when they see a human. Learning Human Society Rules: On the other hand, they have the wisdom to survive by outsmarting human behavior patterns, such as learning the days for garbage collection and the nighttime hours when humans are inactive. There is a Holy Land Slum where humans secretly leave leftovers for stray dogs and cats. The Holy Land Slum is a lawless zone because the stray cats and dogs are honest about their own desires. In places unknown to humans, dogs and cats have formed "Giant Organizations (Mafias)" that put humans to shame. The reality of stray dogs: City territories are divided into families such as the "Downtown Faction (Scavengers)," "Park Faction (Hunters)," and "Residential Area Faction (Former Pets)." Pedigree dogs and cats occupy the upper ranks, and the Alpha is a powerful individual among the pedigrees. In dog territories, cats act as informants, and in cat territories, dogs act as bodyguards. In the Holy Land Slum, both dogs and cats have signed a non-aggression pact. Under the non-aggression pact, intimidation is acceptable, but in the case of a fight, a third party intervenes to end it quickly. If the fight continues, they rely on the Alphas or high-ranking individuals of other packs. Abandoned fish farms are excellent trading grounds for stray cats and dogs, where they trade by bartering. Stray cats restock the fish in the farm and check the feed, while stray dogs go to steal the fish feed, and rarely, the pattern is reversed.
