The New Guinea singing dog is a rare and ancient type of wild dog found in the highlands of New Guinea. Unlike most dogs, it doesn't bark much but instead makes a unique yodeling sound, which is how it got its name. It's closely related to the Australian dingo and is one of the few truly wild dog breeds left.
- Known for its yodel-like vocalizations instead of typical barking.
- Closely related to the Australian dingo.
