Since there are several wild dog breeds, don’t see why the dog had to decent from wolves...loves wolves unless their hungry and eyeballing me...and one of them is ringing the dinner bell...
A while back, a study was published that showed dogs evolved separately from wolves, with an ancient common ancestor.
It is my belief that dogs have always been dogs and wolves have always been wolves.
Pretty sure God could create two things similar but not the same, if He wanted to.

Or, as one person put it simply:
“Take 2 wolves and breed them. What do you get, another wolf. Train that wolf to hunt, guard you or play games with you. What now, still a wolf.”
