Discovering Dogs

All dogs share a common ancestor, whether they are is tiny Chihuahuas or enormous Great Danes. They are all descended from the wolf, and even though dogs have been domesticated for more than 14,000 years, we can still see wolf-like behavior in our pets. I n the wild, the wolf is a pack animal, which means he lives in a tightly-knit unit and abides by the rules of the pack leaders. The top-ranking male and female—the alpha male and alpha female—are the decision-makers. The other members of the pack, who are all closely related, occupy different places in the hierarchy depending on their age and status.
