The Polynesian Wolf is another alias of The Southeast Asian Wolf, Asian Wolf, Dingo, Australian Dingo; they are all general terms referring to Asian wolves. [Canis Lupus family]

The debate is not if the wolves in Polynesia - Asia Pacific are wolves, the debate is when are they defined as dogs, since the difference between a dog and a wolf is that one is domesticated by humans, and one is feral breeding in the wild. Polynesian domestication methods of wolves in Pre-History most likely allowed and even encouraged feral instincts.

Asian Pacifican cultures very often domesticates these animals, so the term at some point becomes "Wolf Dog" because they are still wolves.
