Nepal - Do Khyi

In Tibet, the mastiff like dogs are called do khyi. As a rule, they are mistrustful of humans to the point where the authors were instructed “to always have a companion wearing local attire with us who would get along with the animals and they with him; to walk slowly and carry a stick, since in the case of an attack the dogs would first bite the stick; to never hit the dogs, since the noise of the wounded would call up all other dogs; and, if possible, to throw food to a threatening dog so that it would be occupied until we could reach safety.”
