New Guinea Singing Dog

The New Guinea Singing Dog known as NGSD, New Guinea Highland Dog, or Singer,
is classified as a subspecies of Grey Wolf similar in appearance to the
Domestic Dog.  It is thought to be related to the Australian Dingo, also
native to New Guinea, but some scientists consider it a separate species of
canid. New Guinea Singing Dogs have remained isolated from other dogs for
almost 6000 years, making them possibly the oldest of the pariah dogs. Their
scientific name is Canis lupus hallstromi.
