The answer to that is yes and no. They will cannibal on a dog if hungry enough and if the herd animals have run low for them to hunt but wolves prefer to eat their natural prey rather than to cannibal on dogs. Much like the conflicts they have with coyotes, wilds wolves often look at dogs (regardless of breed) as competitors and will proceed to kill them in order to eliminate competitions but they usually don't eat the dogs that they kill much like how they don't normally eat the coyotes. There are cases of wolves killing and eating parts of feral dogs as well as dogs sent Into the Woods with tracking collars but most of these cases occurred in areas where the ungulate population have been reduced, not because of the wolves but because of sport hunting or diseases and the wolves, having limited access to their natural prey end up turning on livestocks and in some cases on roaming dogs but if they can avoid cannibalism, they would.
