Approximately 25% of the extragalactic sky is obscured by dust in our own Milky Way galaxy. Diligent optical and infrared surveys are successful at detecting galaxies through moderate Galactic dust extinction, but in the most heavily obscured regions near the Galactic plane, only radio surveys are effective.

The Dwingeloo Obscured Galaxies Survey (DOGS) is a 21-cm blind survey out to 4000 km s−1 in the northern “Zone of Avoidance” (ZOA). The DOGS project is designed to reveal hidden dynamically important nearby galaxies and to help “fill in the blanks” in the local large scale structure.
