If you're a rabbit, then maybe start to worry. Wolves follow an order. If approached by one, you don't violate what they assume to be that order unless you want to risk confrontation. Same as the wolf with the dog. He submits to the dog because he falls lower in the order they have assumed. Any attempts to retaliate are minimal, and the dog doesn't have to do too much to take him down because the wolf is intelligent enough to go down on its own rather than risk a confrontation. It doesn't mean they don't get along, but as soon as that wolf tries to assert dominance, it's risking a fight it don't want to be in. Wolves are different than dogs in that regard. If a wolf feels threatened and isolated, there's a good chance it will run. Many dog breeds will fight to the death, especially ones like Shepherds, which is why they put them in pastures to protect sheep.1. Their still a wild animal you can domesticated them but they will never fully be a pet so wouldn't suggest wonder through woods looking for a friend
2. Wolves are still stronger and have do kill shepherds
3. Wolves cooperate dogs submit

You are right this thread has moved way off course
I agree, but it has nothing to do with the context I used. It's referring to packs of dogs compared against packs of wolves and their behavior without those packs. Now throw a wolf in with a dog, and it will submit. But dogs with other dogs, the "lesser" dogs usually submit to the alpha. Wolves are definitely known for working together in achieving tasks. Here is a video of a wolf with some dogs, and it gets a little too friendly with a Caucasian Shepherd, and instantly submits as soon as the Shepherd indicated it needed to back off. About the 1:25 mark.
