Anyone else notice stray dogs in Greece?

After hearing the sad story about the poor lady who was attacked by dogs/ wolves in Greece, unfortunately I'm not that surprised.

I went to Crete this summer, and was completely shocked by the amount of stray dogs wandering around. They were more common than cats, they were everywhere.
I even remember seeing a pack of 5 dogs outside our hotel, just laying in the sun.

At the time I found it sad, a lot of them had old collars on, as if they were abandoned, and some seemed quite desperate for a bit of interaction. I remember walking home one night and a stray sprung out from the bushes so fast it made me jump, however he just proceed to walk home with us, crossing a busy road with us and then made his way.

It's strange because I've never heard anything about stray dogs being an issue in Greece, has anyone else experienced something similar?

When I saw the pack of dogs outside my hotel, it was a bit concerning because attacks must happen fairly frequently.
