    It is an interesting one, I think that if you are taking a single dog into the bush, then the dogs realistic expectation is that you are its pack. I am not a dog, so I can't say with any authority what the dog may or may not think on the matter, but, I have my theories. Anyway, back to what I was saying, kind of. A pack of dogs is more than well equipped to take down pretty much anything in this country (Apart from some Zoo animals, if they were to escape and become naturalised in our forests) because they all know where to be and how to hunt. When you have a single dog out in the sticks there is just no way you can be as effective as another dog hunting in that manner. So my theory goes that more single dogs may get attacked by Fallow than packs of dogs. Not that that was in itself the OP's question, but it is somewhere on the road to an answer.

    I have not found an avalanche of literature about Fallow and dog encounters, perhaps it could be someone's thesis at university if they are looking for something new and exciting to do? You may laugh at that, a mate of mine once spent a year investigating the colour of baboons asses while engaged in mating rituals for his thesis. That bloke can tell you with some authority if a baboon wants to bang you or not by the shade of the colour of it's ass. I could never really see the real world application of this knowledge, apart from very niche scenarios where you were fucked either way, but there you have it. The more you know.
