Wolves are wild dogs and dogs are domesticated wolves.
"Wayne (1993) elucidated the genetic affinities of three of the members of this canid division, as follows: “The domestic dog is an extremely close relative of the gray wolf, differing from it by at most 0.2% of mtDNA sequence.... In comparison, the gray wolf differs from its closest wild relative, the coyote, by about 4% of mitochondrial DNA sequence.” To summarize, these data suggest the following: (1) gray wolves and coyotes are closely related; and (2) gray wolves are 20 times more closely related to dogs than they are to coyotes"....Dr.
I have a wolf in my living room too. Everyone share the pictures of your "wolves" too.
Here is the wolf in my living room, bathroom, bedroom, every crevice of my home:

I love my little wolf;she gathers the troups,she herds me into the kicthen when it is time to eat,she guards the door and patrols the boundries from any errant critter and wants to attack any person in a UPS and mailman uniform with an unknown package,always happy to see my return,and knows when to call it a day.

YOU NEED TO BE ON FACEBOOK WHERE THOUSANDS WOULD BE COPYING AND SHARING THESE POSTS – I am copying and pasting your work but that is stupid — on FB everybody could do it by clicking one button –get on Face book – there is a huge community of animal rights advocates there and WI needs a focus page — here is my page: https://www.facebook.com/gconsciousness

If you all see this in time, please follow this link, scroll down on the right, and vote on the poll about whether dogs should be used to hunt wolves. http://www.leadertelegram.com/
Thanks.

That poll no longer exists,it is now about whether the state should regulate sand mine excavating.
