WOLVES, DOGS, WHAT’S THE
DIFFERENCE?
In the years that wolves have been around,
they have died out or almost died out in most
places. Wolves once lived throughout the United

when he died, I’m guessing he was either a really
short dog or he was closely related to wolves.
No matter how long the dog lives he is
