Actually, wolves are pretty much the same species as the domesticated dog... they are a subspecies of the wolf. They are also physiologically and anatomically the same, sharing 99.8% of the same DNA. The differences in appearance and size are accounted for in that less than 2%. Even wolves and coyotes differ by about 6% in their mitochondrial DNA. Dogs are pretty much domesticated wolves.
