	Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abandoned dogs who go feral are particularly dangerous; they lack the skills of wild canines at survival in the wild, as well as the genetic and learned fear of humans that keeps wild canines away from humans and their possessions, so they form predatory packs that attack livestock and occasionally also prove dangerous to humans.
		Dogs with strong chase instincts may also fixate on specific stimuli, such as a fast-moving, brightly colored running or cycling shoe, as a prey object, and not recognize the whole picture as a human being; this is probably operative in the majority of cases of otherwise nonaggressive dogs chasing cyclists and runners.
		Dogs possess a rete mirabile in the carotid sinus at the base of their neck, a complex of intermingled small arteries and veins which acts as a heat exchanger to thermally isolate the head, containing the brain, the most temperature sensitive organ, from the body, containing the muscles, where most of the heat is generated.

		Agility is a sport in which dog competitors of every size negotiate a complex obstacle course at top speed.

		The combination of over-amped dogs and chunky, menopausal handlers negotiating courses of 150 yards in less than a minute clearly places agility near the top of the weird dog sports.
