Note
Nothing but the vowel separates this spelling from pye-dog. Both can name either of two animals: any stray roaming an Indian street, or the native breed also called the Indian pariah dog, and only the context shows which one a writer means. The hyphen holds in the plural too, which simply adds -s: pie-dogs.
