Dog-keeping in Taiwan: its contribution to the problem of free-roaming dogs

A very interesting study, done in 2001, that seeks to find why there are so many stray dogs in Taiwan. If the length of it puts you off, take a look at the opening paragraph (pp.1 - 2) and the conclusion (pp. 19 -20). This is a must-read for anyone who wants to fully understand the issues surrounding dog abandonment in Taiwan, know a little about the history of local stray welfare, and have an idea of the likeliest solutions to the problem.
