Pye-dog

An Indian pariah dog

A pye-dog, Desi Kutta or sometimes pariah dog is an ownerless, half-wild, free-ranging dog that lives in or close to human settlements throughout Asia. The term is derived from the Sanskrit para, which translates to "outsider".[1][2][3][4]

The United Kennel Club uses the term pariah dog to classify various breeds in a sighthound and pariah group.[5]
