There are many different dog breeds that have been around for ages and others haven't and through history they've served different purpose from guarding to bed warming. Originally, all dogs started as wolves and became the dogs we know now or wild dogs and the main ones are dingoes (found in Australia), Indian wild dogs (found in India), African wild dogs (found in sub Saharan Africa), Coyotes and Jackals. It was approximately 50,000 years when Asian grey wolves were domesticated by humans and further down the line when humans understood unnatural selection, we took the nicer wolves and things we liked about them and bred them until we got the dog. One of the goals the humans were going for is to make dogs not behave like wolves and that goal was achieved as wolves are placed in the Canis Lupus family whereas dogs are in the Canis Familiaris family. Although they are from different families, dogs and wolves are still close enough to have fertile litters.
There are behavioural differences between wolves and dogs. Dogs bark and howl and wolves howl but make a short muffled sound which is considered a bark, but they rarely make this sound. Dogs love humans, crave their attention and will treats them like their own pups or pack members whereas if a human approached a wolf, the wolf would get scared and run away from them, they avoid humans at all cost. Dogs will mate with many other dogs whilst wolves have partners for life. Male dogs are fertile all year around whereas male wolves are only fertile in mating season, females dogs have their fertility periods twice a year and wolves once a year. Dogs have lost almost all of their hunting instincts but wolves haven't as it is essential for survival.
Wolves are extremely powerful and agile hunters and they have longer legs, larger feet and wider craniums than dogs. a wolf has an edge of running and moving fast with the help of their particular skeletal structure. During trotting wolf’s back legs move backward and forward in the same line like its front legs, on the other hand dog places its back legs between its front legs during walking or running hence making the slow motion of dog as compared to faster wolf.
In terms of hunting, they will hunt all the animals below them on the food chain but won't hunt or attack humans as they don't have interest in them and they're not part of their natural food chain. However, if a human comes into the wolf territory and doesn't back off when given the warning signs, the wolves will attack as they will protect their territory and pack from the unknown. So when we attack Trinculo, Caliban and Stephano off the stage, it's it's because they're in our territory and Prospero ordered us to attack them. I've come to the conclusion that due to our obedience to Prospero, he is our pack leader.
