Luckily the dog woke up in time and with the yelling of the security guard who was sleeping in the store. The dog managed to fend off the leopard. An estimated 30 million stray dogs live in India, and a report published by the Indian government estimated just under 100, 000 of those live in Mumbai. It s illegal to kill a dog in India, and the government is undergoing a massive sterilization effort to mitigate the enormous population. If, as the study concludes, leopards kill about 1, 500 dogs every year, it saves the government about US 18, 000 annually. Dog density, the scientists found, was about 10 times lower near the park than it was city wide. Using statistical averages of dog bites and rabies cases in the region, the researchers also estimated that the park s leopards prevent 1, 000 bites and 90 possible rabies cases. Mu
