Well they have been renamed a few times. I believe some people call them the African Painted Dog, but I am old school so to me they are Wild Dogs. But definitely not Dingos, they are rufous brown wild dogs of Australia. I saw this at West Midlands Safari Park near Kidderminster.

Aren't they called Dingos? Good picture! Where did you spot this please, In a Zoo?
