Wild dog??

[Freeze_Dried_Bloodworm]

So I commented on a picture of a pitbull on Deviant Art cause the owner of the picture claimed the dog to be "wild"

I told her it isn't wild and obviously had owners cause its ears were cropped and obviously looked like it was used for fighting.. etc, then she told me how all dogs come from the wild and they're just like lions, elephants.. etc, so I mentioned that dogs were domesticated over 10,000 years ago, and like 5 comments later she still thinks dogs are wild!
she also deleted the picture, too bad it would've been a great link
good thing I had enough time to show my dad and brother her theory !!

some people really make me speechless!

I thought that most people knew that dogs were domesticated from wolves? Silly me.

Well...wouldn't Dingos technically be wild dogs since they are closely related to domestic dogs rather than wolves?

Dingos were domesticated dogs that were brought to Australia by the aborigines and then they reverted back into the wild. Same goes for the Carolina Dogs here in the US. Most people have never heard of them but they do still exist in wild in packs down in the South East US. They were brought here by Native Americans and they as well reverted back to the wild. Carolina Dogs also look strangely similar to Dingos.

But they are wild, and were once domesticated dogs. Wouldn't that make them Wild Dogs?! lol

I guess so, but they were once domesticated. If we didn't domesticate them, they'd still be wolves.

i guess it depends on what you call wild. there are plenty of dogs throughout the world that are born and live on their own, is that wild?
