For all you dog and wolf lovers out there:
Wolves lead, dogs follow -- and both cooperate with humans|ScienceDaily (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190314101334.htm)
QuoteThe statement is a bold one, especially as wolves have received a lot of negative attention in recent years. A recent study conducted by behavioral researchers, however, shows that dogs and wolves both work equally well with humans, albeit in different ways. The allegedly unequal brothers are thus much more similar than often assumed.

Very cool study. Thank you for posting the links, xSilverPhinx.
I thought the two little videos in the paper were entertaining as well as being excellent illustrations of the difference in behavior between dogs and wolves. :)
