"Canis" is the name of the genus that the domestic dog belongs to, along with wolves and coyotes. "lupus" refers to the species within the Canis genus that wolves and domestic dogs belong to. "familiaris" refers to the subspecies that only domestic dogs, and not wolves, belong to. Note that only the genus name in a scientific name starts with a capital letter.
