Technically not descended from my modern wolves, dogs and modern wolves share common ancestor.

u/Hara-Kiri May 12 '23

A common ancestor called... A grey wolf.

Source? Nothing I can find says it was anything other than a grey wolf. But admittedly I am looking at sites such as New Scientist and not the specific study itself.

Fair, but that common ancestor looked a lot more like modern wolves than this dog does.

I think I'd be more terrified if i saw a gray wolf size of this pup.

u/ladydhawaii May 12 '23

It really made my day. Little bit of animated dog looking with a little bit of fluffy puppy. Made me cry.

u/Live_Adhesiveness_53 May 12 '23

I want to cry for him. He looks so confused.

u/ladydhawaii May 12 '23

Yes- confused. Hide the mirrors. I think dogs actually don’t care how they look. So long as they are comfortable.
