Small children might have to watch out though. Here in Australia dingos 
rarely attack adult humans, although they certainly see a lone child as a 
potential food source. A few campers on Frazer island in particular have 
walked in to check on a sleeping child only to find a dingo in the cabin or 
tent aproaching the child with interest. They almost always flee at the 
sight of an adult human though. The fact that dingos on Frazer island have 
grown accustomed to being fed by tourists doesn't help the matter either.
