Synopsis
This documentary looks at the problems facing Australia's native dog. Persecuted by farmers, battling an ugly reputation as a child killer, the dingo is now up against a new threat. An urge to domesticate the dingo is leading to cross breeding and a rapidly diminishing gene pool. DINGO - UNDER SIEGE examines some of the myths surrounding the dingo since it arrived in Australia 5,000 years ago.
