a dog is a house pet and a wolf is a wild animal that is endangered. but the are related in some way ..
A dog is usually a harmless pet, And a wolve is a wild beast.

A dog is actually a subspecies of the Grey wolf (canis lupis). In other words, dogs are basically domesticated Grey Wolves.
Dogs are domestic and descended from wolves, while wolves are wild and don't have such diverse breeds.
A dog is domestic and a wolf is wild and cannot bark, but only does quiet barks when wanting attention or when afraid. Wolves are hard to tame and are aggresive mostly.
When most people say "dog, they mean the domesticated variety, that we make our pets. The wolf is a canine. The wolf is almost always in the wild, with wild habits. Some of those habits do show up in our domestic pets.

Dogs: they are hose-trained and have better attitudes

Wolves: they hunt naturally. they live in the wild. they are not house trained

any thing you think wolves are, they are way different to dogs.

Wolves hunt their prey freely for their food

Dogs are completely domesticated and their senses are no longer acute enough and their not strong nor fit nor big nor vicious enough to hunt prey so they wait for their human master's to present it to them...

Biologically speaking, however, dogs are simply domesticated Gray Wolves (Canis Lupus).

Wolves are different from dogs because they are bigger, have longer legs, and a longer, pointed muzzle. Their eyes are usually a mix of some golden color and brown. Dogs and wolves are related though, dogs coming from wolves. Wolves are usually wild and aren't kept as pets, although you could get one if you had a permit and don't live in the city.
well for one, you can keep dogs as a pet

as for wolves, they could be dangerous
a wolf is a wild dog that ususally cannot be tamed. a dog is a household pet and comes in many different breeds shapes and sizes and has different natures and traits.

Over the years dogs have been bred to achieve a certain look or characteristic pertaining to their breed, wolves on the other hand are made to survive in the harshest conditions which is why they are pack animals and have a social structure within the pack.
