What would happen if a wolf encountered a dog?

it depends on the conditions. if it were a weak wolf,maybe an injured one, the dog may either leave it for dead, or finish it off, seeing it as a threat. on rare occasion, the dog may attempt to help the wolf. If it were the dog that is injured or weak, chances are the wolf will finish it off, unless the wolf is a female who has recently lost it's pups, and the dog is very young. in this case the wolf might treat the dog as its own pup. hope this help! :-) ask me anything about animals you ever need!
