Is a domesticated wolf a dog?

They already have been domesticated. That fluffy little poodle at home is actually a distant relative to wolves. Wolves are the ancestors to all modern dogs. Early man saw these fearsome beasts as companions, and slowly domesticated the friendliest wolves. Eventually, Wolves "evolved" into all of our 'Best Friends'. But then again, if you were wondering something along the lines of "Can I bring a wolf pup into my home, bottle-feed it, and when it grows up will it act as if it were a Labrador?" the answer is "No." Unfortunately, even if a wolf pup has been around humans its entire life, there's no changing the fact that it's still a wolf. And wolves aren't Labradors, they're wolves. A wolf is a wolf no matter what. (I sympathize with you though, for I am a great lover of wolves and I have dreamed of owning a wolf since I was 9.)
