As highly social, group-driven animals, painted dogs are one of the few animals that care for the old, sick, and disabled members of the pack.
No two dogs have the same markings on their coats. Mottled with red, black, brown, white, and yellow patches of fur, their coats serve as camouflage in their surroundings.
Pack members communicate using complex vocal signals, ranging from twitters and rumbles to barks and growls.
