According to a survey by the veterinary medicine department of National Taiwan University, Taiwan has 2.3 million canines, which equals one tenth of the overall human population, but if unclaimed street dogs are added in, there is on the average one dog for every household.
根據台大獸醫系的調查，台灣畜犬約有二百三十萬隻，佔總人口比例為十比一；但加上流浪狗，每戶人家幾乎都會分到狗兒。
