A Howling Good Idea: Country Dogs In An ETF: (DOGS)
FYI: The Dogs of the Dow strategy suggests investors buy the blue-chip index's 10 highest-yielding names at the start of a given year with the idea that the stocks can potentially top the broader market in the year ahead. “Dogs” strategies are not confined to the Dow or U.S. stocks, as confirmed by the newly minted Arrow Dogs of the World ETF DOGS, +0.00% DOGS tracks the ex-U.S. AI Dogs of the World Index. The index selects the five worst-performing countries where a return reversal or move back toward the mean or average is anticipated. The index has a contrarian approach that looks for deep value among a universe of 44 countries,” according to Arrow Funds.

Might work but it seems very risky. The dogs of the dow idea at least gives you the protection that the companies are of relatively high quality and market cap with an unlikelihood of failing financially . From the little I read you don't have this protection with this security.
