Please give me some differences between wild wolves and house/pet dogs. For example, a comparison between the digestion of food, territory, authority, mating & friendship, etcetera. Thank you.

Dogs are genetically and psychologically bred and predisposed towards human friendly traits, such as a simplified pack, lack of "mate for life" instinct in most, and a closer diet to our own. They are naturally attracted to human contact, or at least fare better for it. They have a lesser ability to function as a hunting pack or "one mind" hunting. They have an amazing language adaptability; throughout a dog's lifetime, they observe and absorb our words, body movements, and tones, just like a wolf among wolves, to discern their status and lifestyle. Wolves are wolf bred. They have one pack minds, follow and hunt, and have no human likability. They have a alpha and beta, much more defined than the loose, friendly dog social order. Only alphas mate, and for life. They think of the pack, not personal enjoyment. Dogs are joking about social order; wolves will kill, which is why they are not recommended as pets. Your child smacks it in the nose, it will bite the child's face like it would a pup's. They are meat eaters entirely, and I doubt they could live on the crude stuff we call dry food. Dogs are nearly omnivorous because of us. Wolves have a secret, but strict society; dogs live moment to moment.

They differ only in that man has taken the wild dog and wolf and bread them out to get all of the different variations of what you see today in house pets. They have the same DNA chain with minor variations, but are essentially the same.
