Fluffy Stray Puppy Found In Australia Proves to Be a Rare, Endangered Dingo in Disguise

Have you heard about the little furball that “fell from the sky” in Wandiligong, Australia? Well, this stray puppy, named Wandi, a veritable walking furball, turned out to be a rare 100% Australian alpine dingo!

A family found Wandi in their backyard, whimpering and cute as can be. With fox-like features and marks on his back likely from an eagle’s claws, the family took him to the vet for DNA testing. And, sure enough, Wandi was confirmed to be an alpine dingo – a type that’s close to extinction due to habitat destruction, hunting, and interbreeding with domestic dogs.

This discovery is a blessing for the dingo preservation foundation, as the alpine dingo is one of three types native to Australia (the others being desert and tropical). But with purebreds being replaced by domestic-dog-dingo hybrids in many parts of the country, Wandi’s story is a reminder of how special and endangered this breed really is.
