context_page_description: The city of Moscow, Russia hosts a large population of free-ranging dogs. Many operate in packs and have become accustomed to seeking food from passersby. Some of them who frequent or inhabit the subway have attracted international attention for learning how to use the trains to commute between various locations.
context_section_description: Poyarkov classified their evolving social structures into four groups:
  Wild dogs (feral and nocturnal, avoiding humans and viewing them as a threat)
  Foragers (semi-feral)
  Beggars (the most socialized to people, but not affectionate or personally attached)
  Guard dogs (who view certain humans as their leaders. Commonly met at mills or construction yards, may be fed on regular basis yet have no official owner).
