street dog
Wandering urban mutt
A street dog is a dog that lives outdoors without an owner, surviving by scavenging or the kindness of strangers.
The term is common in regions where unowned dogs roam freely in urban areas: Street dogs gathered near the market at closing time.
Unlike "stray," which suggests a lost pet, street dog often implies a dog born into this life.
