Yes, wolves are related to dogs. They all come from the canine family. Dogs descend from wild wolves and they share lots of behavioral traits such as marking territory and barking just like cats are related to lions. They are all part of the Feline family.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above is partially misleading. Almost all animals mark territory and wolves do not in fact bark as domestic dogs do. It really isn't quite so simple. While they are from the same overall family [Canidae] they are in fact from very distinct branches. The wolf is from Lupine, the fox from Vulpine and the Dog from Basal.
Latest genome research has revealed that the common ancestor of wolves and dogs was a large wolf like creature that lived in Europe between 9,000 and 34,000 years ago. However so much time has passed and genetic shift occurred that dogs today are in fact more closely related to each other than they are to wolves. They are at best very distant third cousins.The difference thus is less like a domestic cat and a lion and more like humans and orang utans.
The study by Adam H. Freedman and published in PLoS Genetics is easily found online and will offer a more detailed examination of the latest research including insights into the domestication of dogs.
dogs are descendants of wolves
Dogs actually desend from wolves
Yes, dogs are more domestic than wolves but they are related to wolves. It's like how cats are related to tigers and lions.
huskies are related to wolves.
A pack consists of a bunch of other wolves, some of them might be related, but others might just be other wolves who joined in with the pack and are not related in any way.
Yes.
yes they are
All animals are related in some way, but wolves are not directly related to cats. Wolves are members of the family Canidae, and cats are members of the family Felidae.
Dogs and wolves are closely related to the coyote
Dogs are related to wolves, foxes, coyotes, jackals, dingoes, raccoon dogs and a number of other species.

Dogs are closely related to the wolves. In fact, they are the same species.
They are both in the Canid family
No, they are a completely unrelated phenomena.
Like all dogs - wolves
