Bonnie dogs, also known simply as boonies, are free-ranging dogs living on pacific islands such as the United States territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Boonies heavily inter-bred, and as such cannot be classified as any traditional dog breed.[1] A 2014 survey by the Humane Society International found that Guam had about 25,000 boonies, or one dog for every seven people.[2]
