| because dogs are inbred weaklings tame and domesticated over time while wolves still have that carnivora killer instinct which they need to survive. Humans are like domesticated dogs. Its a longer lasting nurture response if i had to put my finger on it. |

| Many breeds of domestic dogs are bred to be perpetually puppy-like, friendly and playful rather than naturally wary and "serious" like grown wolves. |

Grown humans are friendly and playful like puppies? Not most of the time in my experience. |
