Keep in mind that there are a lot of different wolves. The Gray Wolf has no immediate look alikes, mainly because of its size. However the Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are very close to arctic wolves in size, speed, and looks. German Shepherds also can resemble some of the wolves that are natural to eastern Europe. It isn't likely, because the German Shepherd has been bred by looks and temperment for hundreds of years now.
There are many. If you're looking for "most like" I'd go with German Shepherd dogs, in size, the Caucasian Shepherd might even be bigger than a wolf. If you're going for "MORTAL COMBAT!", pretty much a Caucasian Shepherd, GSD, Malamute...etc. There are a lot of large Dog Breeds. I don't recommend a hybrid though, if you're thinking about it.
Wolves look like dogs - because that is where dogs originally came from! A wolf's fur is more coarse and rough than a dog. A wolf's eyes are slanted instead of set straight in its head like a dog's eyes - they are usually a yellowish or golden color. The tail is usually bushier than that of most dogs. The dogs that look most like wolves are Siberian Huskies.
Dogs were originally wolves, then Victorians got bored and started breeding them to use them as hunting dogs...etc. After this dogs became a fashion accesory and they bred them to look good. The dog had to look how the Kennel Club said in The Breeders Handbook. Try watching 'Pedigree Dogs Exposed'

Like dogs.
YES, bears are related to pigs more than dogs. Many people find this hard to believe, but it is true. Like humans are related to monkeys, their DNA is the same. The bears and the pigs are both from the swine family. Bears and pigs are related more than bears and dogs are.

Dogs are a subspecies of the Gray Wolf.

Dogs look like wolves.
German Shepherds, Huskies, and some breed mixes! One of My Favorite dogs is a native American Indian dog and they looks just like a wolves.
Dogs are wolves that have been bred into looking a certain way. Wolves are the original, and dogs are how humans wanted their pets to look.
Coyotes or "bush wolves" are canine and therefore look like dogs. Because they are wild, they are often much leaner than regular dogs.
Coyote tracks look like dog tracks - 4 toes and a heel - the dog's is rounder and the claws show; the coyote's track is more poined and and 4 toes are closer together
The answer is more a case of- why do dogs belong to the family of wolves? Dogs are the direct descendants of wolves, and so belong to that family. Some dogs don't look like they have wolf ancestors, but they do. Others look very similar, such as alsations.
