Wolves as pets and working animals
Generally speaking, on the basis of their experience, tame wolves are strictly "one-man dogs". They may be confiding and playful with the man who raised them, or even with his whole family, if fed and cared for by them, but they are suspicious and timid in the presence of strangers. They invariably retain certain reactions of wolf nature, as for instance, an incorrigible desire to kill chickens or other small livestock whenever opportunity arises.
Canis
Wolves, dogs, and dingoes are subspecies of "Canis lupus". The original referent of the English word wolf, the Eurasian wolf, is called "C. l. lupus" to distinguish it from other wolf subspecies, such as the Indian wolf ("C. l. pallipes"), the Arabian wolf ("C. l. arabs"), or the Tibetan wolf ("C. l. filchneri").
