Dogs stay with humans regardless of their status

Naughtybear is kinda right tho, they were wild, but from really long ago people took them and made them obey, and then bred them. But afterwards people learned from their mistakes and the dogs forgave. Now we have bestfriends!

It's not quite like that. Dogs are a different species than wolves. Most scientists believe that canides took the initiative to approach humans and in the process they altered their behaviour to be compliant to us, mainly loosing their flight instinct. It's quite peculiar what a complex mutual understanding can be developed between two so different species. They can read us better than any other species, probably even better than most primates.
Most dogs could not survive in a human-free environment. Strays mainly live of human waste, mostly someone will even feed them. Set out 100 dogs in real nature, 100 miles from any resource of civilization, only a handful will survive.

True. But I never said they were from wolves but I see what you are saying

Yea, well, they have in fact bred themselves from wolves into dogs. Selecting for a single trait will almost always cause other gene clusters to evolve. So the selection for a less anxious behaviour in order to be able to feed of what the humans dumped outside their dwellings caused other traits and attributes as well. If you start breeding foxes to be less anxious and thus easier to be handled (fur farms), they will start making barking noises, get typically "dog colours" and other dog-like physical features. That is why purebred dog races look so extremely different. Most of those have not been bred for a certain outer appearance but for certain jobs. The appearance just followed that.

True

@dean_winchester___ christ what a ridiculous assumption. ive had 3 dogs (including the one i have now) and ive loved every single one of them. pbachman and halfdeadhammerhead conveyed the point i mean well enough.
