An investigation was carried out on the diffusion of stray dog populations in Emilia-Romagna by submitting a questionnaire/interview. 30 gamekeeper officers and 21 public veterinarians of Bologna and Forlì provinces were interviewed. The data collected were compared with the official data of the Health Council of the Emilia-Romagna Region. Statistical analysis confirmed a correlation between number of biting dogs and inhabitants of the province; number of captured dogs and registered dogs; number of biting dogs and owned dogs, and the existence of factors favouring dog straying in mountain areas.
