'''Stray dogs''' are [[dog]]s that roam around [[Varrock]] and [[Meiyerditch]].

Players can interact with stray dogs in the following ways:
* '''Shoo''' - It can be shooed away by the player ("Thbbbbt!"), which will appear in the chat box, causing the dog to whine ("Whine!"),which will not and run away. If ignored, it will follow for a certain amount of time, and then it will leave to find a different player to follow. Players can shoo away a dog even if it is following someone else.
* '''Feed''' - It can be fed [[bones]] (which is an easy [[Varrock Task]]), [[Raw meat|Raw]], and [[Cooked meat]]. When players feed it, it happily barks, and will follow for a certain amount of time. If fed with more food, it will continue following, but will not enter any buildings. If the offering is inedible, the dog will growl and not eat it. A borrowed object cannot be eaten by a stray dog.
* '''With cats''' - If there is a [[cat]] on the ground while near a stray dog, then it will bark at the cat. Many players object to this harassment of their well loved pet, and in turn use the Shoo function. When a stray dog barks at a [[Wily cat|Wily Cat]], the Wily Cat will fight the stray dog. Also, Stray Dogs are scared of Hellcats.

Before summoning was released, players could have [[cat]]s as pets but not dogs. The only dogs were these stray dogs or attackable NPCs. Many players thought that this was biased and unfair.

In Varrock there are five stray dogs wandering around. Three are grey and two are brown.
