The unicorn representing Scotland is always bounded by a golden chain, either around its neck or its body. This represents the belief that unicorns are the strongest animals that can be tamed by no one but a virgin maiden.

Many cities and towns in Scotland still bear unicorn heraldry. There are unicorns on many important historic buildings and statues around the country, including the Palace of Holyroodhouse, National War Museum, Linlithgow Palace, etc.

The Netherlands allows its residents to spay and neuter their dogs for free. The country’s “adopt, don’t shop” mentality is further supported with very high taxes on bought puppies which pushes people to adopt from one of 200 dog shelters.

Combine all this and you get a pretty straightforward recipe for having a country free of stray dogs.
