In the Western world dogs are an essential part of society. Dogs are looked on as company, friend and family member.
In none-western cultures the relationship with dogs is often very different.
In these cultures they are used for defence and as guard dogs, for hunting, as food or they are just stray dogs only posing a nuisance.
As a result of this different relationship dogs are often seen as unclean, dangerous or unreliable in these none-western cultures. When migrants arrive in their new countries they are confronted with a world full of dogs.
