Dogs, Latin name Canis familiaris, are a direct descendent of the gray wolf, Canis Lupus. In other words, dogs are domesticated wolves. Their behavior has changed over the years.
Nowadays, some people believe even modern wolves can be domesticated. Some people even keep dogs as exotic pets, or working animals.
While that is not recommendable, it is a fact that dogs are descendants of the wolves. Some of the dogs most closely resembling wolves include Siberian Husky, German Shepherd, and Japanese Akita.
But even the small breed dogs that we have nowadays can trace their lineage to the gray wolf. This documentary takes a look at everything that has happened and how we managed to domesticate wolves.
