The dog, the unknown creature? Dog owners are no longer convinced of that. After all, we have learned from the wolf, our ancestor, how dogs behave. As the alpha, one always has the say and control over the pack, and strangers are not tolerated in the territory. In the daily competition, the strongest always prevails. However, these clichés have little to do with the actual, family-oriented social behavior of wolves, as demonstrated by field researchers Günther Bloch and Elli H. Radinger through numerous examples based on the latest wolf research, which will significantly influence the relationship between humans and dogs.
