CANE DOGS
Commonly known in Barbados as Salmon-tot retrievers or Sardine-tot retrievers, these dogs of no known pedigree, were 'kept' as a watch dogs but foraged for food in the streets, roads, alleys and gaps in both town and country turning over the dust bins (garbage cans) to look for empty cornbeef and other cans.    
In the Barbadian countryside where I grew up, they were called Cane Dogs, mongrels born in the sugar cane fields.  They are the counterpart to the American Junk Yard Dogs or the Newfoundland Crackies.
