A new study of human-raised wolf pups suggests wolves can become attached to their owners in a manner reminiscent of dogs\u2014but that\u2019s where the similarities end.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"will-wolves-attack-my-dog\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_wolves_attack_my_dog\"><\/span>Will wolves attack my dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wolves are also very aggressive toward domestic dogs. Wolves may act aggressively towards dogs even when people are present, and even when dogs are on a leash or being held by their owner. Among documented attacks on dogs, the wolves commonly directed their attack solely at the dog and not the pet\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-191797\" src=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Will-wolves-attack-my-dog.jpg\" alt=\"Will wolves attack my dog?\" width=\"376\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Will-wolves-attack-my-dog.jpg 376w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Will-wolves-attack-my-dog-300x282.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hIw1qka5fIQ\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"why-do-wolves-kill-dogs\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_wolves_kill_dogs\"><\/span>Why do wolves kill dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are two hypotheses for why wolves kill dogs. According to the first the wolves are defending their territory and eliminating rivals, and the second points the finger at nutrition: the wolves are simply hungry.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-a-german-shepherd-kill-a-wolf\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_German_shepherd_kill_a_wolf\"><\/span>Can a German shepherd kill a wolf?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A German Shepherd cannot beat a wolf in a fight and would likely withstand serious injuries or get killed in the event of a wolf attack. Although they are very strong, German Shepherds do not have the physique necessary to withstand wolf bites or consistently force a wolf to back down.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-dogs-know-coyotes-are-dangerous\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_dogs_know_coyotes_are_dangerous\"><\/span>Do dogs know coyotes are dangerous?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This means that dogs can detect some odors that humans couldn\u2019t even imagine sensing.\u00a0 This is why dogs are able to sense when an intruder \u2013 such as a coyote \u2013 is in their territory. They can smell much further distances than we can, as well, so the coyote may not necessarily be an imminent danger, but it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-a-dog-join-a-wolf-pack\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_dog_join_a_wolf_pack\"><\/span>Can a dog join a wolf pack?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Can Dogs Breed With Wolves?

Although closely related to domesticated dogs, wolves do not show the same tractability as dogs in living alongside humans, and generally, a greater amount of effort is required in order to obtain the same amount of reliability.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-do-if-you-see-a-wolf-with-your-dog\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_if_you_see_a_wolf_with_your_dog\"><\/span>What to do if you see a wolf with your dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Do not turn your back on the wolf or run away. If a dog is about to encounter a wolf, the dog should be brought to heel at the owner\u2019s side as quickly as possible and leashed.

In the wild, these two animals are more of rivals than predator and prey. If a coyote were to step into a wolfs territory it would be seen as encroaching.
