The bush dog (Speothos venaticus) is a canine found in Central and South America. [1] [2] In spite of its extensive range, it is very rare in most areas except in Suriname, Guyana and Peru; [2] [4] it was first described by Peter Wilhelm Lund from fossils in Brazilian caves and was believed to be extinct.
The genus includes the living bush dog, Speothos venaticus, and an extinct Pleistocene species, Speothos pacivorus. Unusually, the fossil species was identified and named before the extant species was discovered, with the result that the type species of Speothos is S. pacivorus. S. pacivorus had a larger overall body size and a double-rooted ...
Bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) and domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) are the definitive hosts, harbouring the adult stage of E. vogeli. The ingestion of a rodent intermediate host containing the hydatid cysts of the tapeworm by a bush or domestic dog often results in a heavy infestation of these tapeworms.

The dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the gray wolf.Also called the domestic dog, it was selectively bred from an extinct population of wolves during the Late Pleistocene by hunter-gatherers.
In 2022, cockapoos were one of the most expensive dog varieties in the United Kingdom, costing an average of £1,336.15. [7] Between 2019 and 2020, the average price in the UK rose by 168 percent, a result of increased demand caused by a national lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic .
The Pleistocene bush dog (Speothos pacivorus) is an extinct canid species in the genus Speothos from the Late Pleistocene.It was a relative of the extant bush dog.When compared to the bush dog, S. pacivorus had an overall larger body size, a straighter radial shaft and a double-rooted second lower molar.
Dusicyon avus range extended through the Pampas and Patagonia in the south-central and southern parts of South America, with an estimated range of around 762 351 km². Its fossils have been found in the Luján Formation of Argentina, the Chui Formation of Brazil, the Milodón Cave in Chile and the Sopas Formation of Uruguay.
