A lapdog is not a wolf.



Pic of a wolf crossed with an Alaskan Malamute..  So Bob, what would you call this specimen?


 Dogs have instincts such as herding and barking when territory is violated which have evolved since the wolf days.  Many breeds have many behaviors, often as distinct from each other as from their wolf origin.

You seem to be obsessed with the dog = wolf meme.  There are still some shared traits, but it's like saying lions = house cats.  It's a very shallow limited meme.

Then again, some people can't seem to tell donkeys from elephants...

Uh, dogs are just domesticated wolves. Wild wolves and dogs can interbreed freely which mean they are the same species. Domestication is a genetic selection process that weeds out what humans think are undesirable traits in the wolf and for that matter domestic cats.   Here is a pic of the African Wildcat:



As far as house cats go, we have the ancestor, Cattus Silvesterus lybica, I think that's where Warner Brothers got the name for Sylvester, the cat.    As far as the "domestication process",  have gander at the cabbage family:

If you think cats and dogs cause a mindfuck, they ain't go nothing over Brassica.
