RUSSIA (ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE) In Moscow, 35,000 stray dogs actively use the subway to move around the Russian city. With few means of survival, Moscow’s stray dogs have hit the streets – and the transit system – in search of sustenance. In addition to occupying subway lines, these dogs have also developed personalized techniques to cajole food from their human neighbors. A cute puppy may try to extract food through friendship while a huskier dog might startle an unsuspecting traveler who will hopefully fumble his or her lunch. While some are lobbying to clear the strays from public spaces, many Russian passengers accept the dogs as fellow travelers and voluntarily offer food. As Russian society has evolved over the years, its canine residents have cleverly adapted, too. Check out the photo gallery below of Moscow’s dogs on the subway. And catch the quick video at the bottom of the dog who perks up to get off at the right subway station! — Global Animal
