Any free-ranging, unowned dog can be socialised to become an owned dog, as some dingoes do when they join human families. [25] Although the dingo exists in the wild, [26] it associates with humans, but has not been selectively bred unlike other domesticated animals. [2] [26] Therefore, its status as a domestic animal is not clear. [2]
The world record for longest distance run continuously is held by Dean Karnazes, who ran 563 km (350 miles) in 80 hours 44 minutes without stopping. In the absence of significant external factors, non-athletic humans tend to walk at about 1.4 m/s (5.0 km/h; 3.1 mph) and run at about 5.1 m/s (18 km/h; 11 mph).
Faster individuals tend to have a greater percentage of Type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers. [11] [12] Higher percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibers lead to increased force production capability, as well as increased speed of contractions leading to shorter contact times.
The emu typically tries to repel the dingo by jumping into the air and kicking or stamping the dingo on its way down. The emu jumps as the dingo barely has the capacity to jump high enough to threaten its neck, so a correctly timed leap to coincide with the dingo's lunge can keep its head and neck out of danger.

Tourists are advised not to run or jog outside fenced areas, to keep children within arm’s reach, to walk with a stick and to avoid providing dingoes with food. Dingoes mostly approach humans ...
The Carolina dog, also known as a yellow dog, [1] yaller dog, [2] [3] [4] American dingo, [3] or Dixie dingo, [3] is a breed of medium-sized dog occasionally found feral in the Southeastern United States, especially in isolated stretches of longleaf pines and cypress swamps.
Reindeer can reach a running speed of almost 50 miles per hour(80 km), though most recorded speeds are between 25 and 35 miles per hour (40-56 km), which is still quite impressive.
For much of the 20th century and early 21st century it was claimed that kelpies were partly descended from dingoes. [6] In 2019, it was widely reported [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] that a genomic study conducted by researchers from the University of Sydney indicated that the kelpie had no dingo ancestry [ 10 ] although this is still uncertain.
