Dogs, like wolves, are very social animals and require the bondship of a pack in which to hunt and reproduce in. Many domesticated dogs live in a household with humans, which gives them their social adaption and aids them in their survival with abundant food and love.
Their keen sense of smell is astounding. They can smell the flesh of a dead carcass almost a half a mile away. The same can be said for their eyesight. Despite seemingly active during the day, in the wild wolves are nocturnal, meaning they hunt mostly at night in the protection of darkness. The pack works together to bring down their kill.

∙ 12y agoOne way that a dog can be adapted to its environment is is fur type. A husky, for example has a very thick coat to keep it warm in colder climates. Another great example is a Chesepeake Bay retriever. These dogs are normally used for types of hunting that can involve swimming, such as duck hunting. Its fur has oils that repel water and allow for quicker drying. This allows for them to hunt in cold and wet environments. They also have webbed toes to aid in swimming.

Bloodhounds have a keen sense of smell even for dogs.
Huskies are adapted for cold weather
Poodles were once used for lion hunting (honest). That aggression has been bred out mostly

What is an example to contrast a behavioral adaptation to a physical adaptation?
Sometimes organisms will have both behavioural and physical ways of adapting to environmental challenges, an example I can think of is if organisms get too hot, they have many different ways of cooling down. For example if humans get too hot, our physical adaptation is that we have pores in the skin and glands beneath the skin that produce sweat, dogs pant, birds open their mouths and evaporate the water in the moist lining of their throat (a method called "gular fluttering) A behavioral adaptation would be seeking out shade, or resting during the hottest part of the day.

What is that thing on a dogs arm that looks like a toe?
first of all dogs do NOT have arms, they have 4 legs, 2 forelegs and 2 hind legs! And the toe to which you refer is known as a DEWCLAW and is the result of an genetic adaptation over time that reduced the dogs paws from having 5 toes to 4 toes.
What are the adaptations of a dog?
Dogs have sharp teeth to grind food and are fast learners. Hunting dogs have slightly webbed feet which enable them to swim. Dogs communicate by barking and howling. Panting is a main adaptation because it keeps the dog's body temperature consistent. They grow extra fur in the winter and shed fur by moulting in the summer. Dogs have sharp claws for digging.
