From howl to bark
and back again.
Dogs and wolves have many outward similarities. After all, they are the same species and are 99% DNA identical. They can even interbreed (although their offspring are typically not fertile). They both display similar body language at times and share an impeccable sense of smell. And, of course they do have differences
which we celebrate and honor.
​
Dogs
are domesticated, meaning they
live with and depend on humans
need the wild and the
wild needs them
Wolves
Dogs
tend to form stronger relationships
with humans rather than other dogs
Wolves
form stronger family units
within their pack
Dogs
maintain puppy-like traits throughout life that humans have selected inadvertently and intentionally: floppy ears, shorter noses, and goofy dispositions
maintain nature's more intended maturing
process so just like us their noses and ears grow...
the better to smell and hear you with :)
