Just like their wolf ancestors, dogs have an incredible sense of hearing and smell. Compared to humans, a dog’s sense of smell is 40x stronger. It makes you wonder why, with this much smelling power, they can’t seem to figure out that they were the ones to pass gas! Dogs have ha...
Wolves also differ in certain skull dimensions, having a smaller orbital angle, for example, than dogs (>53 degrees for dogs compared to <45 degrees for wolves) while possessing a comparatively larger brain capacity.[13] Larger paw size, yellow eyes, longer legs, and bigger teeth further ...
The timing of the admixture and the effective population size trends estimated from the LD patterns reflected the documented history of the breed. Ancestry reconstruction methods identified more than 300 genes with excess of wolf ancestry compared to random expectations, mainly related to key ...
A major factor in dog welfare is a good relationship with their humans. In turn, living with a dog supports the wellbeing and even the mental and physical health of their human masters. In fact, the Palaeolithic partnership between humans and wolves was social and cooperative from its beginnin...

We investigated the spontaneous tendency of dog puppies, kittens and wolf pups to match their behaviour to actions demonstrated by a human, in the absence of food reward. Based on dogs’ inherent sociality and domestication history, we predicted that the tendency to match human actions is more ...
Domestication is associated with a very large reduction in the population size in dogs (16-fold compared to a much smaller 3-fold reduction in wolves; [29]). However, we do not see a similar reduction of CNV variation in dogs in our aCGH data, most likely because of the ascertainment ...
In the case of damage caused by a wolf to domestic animals, the injured party is entitled to compensation in the amount of the actual damage if prescribed actions and measures have been taken. Prescribed actions and measures include the presence of a guardian dog (the Tornjak breed is ...
