Given the choice, do you thing dogs would prefer to be domesticated or live in the wild?

Question

OK.. I know there is a million things wrong with this Q (so don't go picking holes haha)... but if you asked a puppy/dog the pros and cons of each, what do you think they would choose?

Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Domesticated, because they love attention and affection from people.

Answer 2

Definitely domesticated. Dogs have been selectively bred by humans for thousands of generations to be dependent on us for their survival - they are so far removed from their ancestor, the grey wolf, that they no longer know how to look after themselves in a wild state. Feral dogs tend to live on the fringes of human society, scavenging the majority of their food from our leavings, whereas a pack of wolves can take down a moose weighing ten times what a single wolf does using nothing but teamwork and teeth. Dogs are neither disciplined nor skilled enough to manage this. Life away from humans is hard for dogs. They need us, and enjoy living with us. I think life would be poorer for us without them, too.

Answer 3

I agree with alsaser. Dogs love attention, "man's best friend"
