For a long time, it was believed that domestic dogs operated in much the same way as wolves do. However, these beliefs were based primarily on the study of wolves, not dogs.
In recent years, scientists have been able to study the behavior of feral dogs and have found that, although dogs are social creatures, they do not form packs or hierarchies in the way that wolves do.
The study of wolves (Mech 1970, Zimen 1982) has found that they form set packs, with strict hierarchies and rules, the wolves will remain in these packs for life and there will be one leader.
However the study of feral dogs (Boitani and Ciucci 1995) suggest that while dogs may join up in 'packs' for a short time, they will not remain together for more than a few months. The apparent 'leadership' of the packs changes on a regular basis.
