Wolf dogs "treat humans as if they are other wolves and demonstrate the genetically programmed predisposition to struggle continuously with pack mates for food and leadership."

"Whenever we forget that we are dealing with draftees and not volunteers, when we mistake willingness and enthusiasm for informed consent, we begin a dangerous movement away from the dog as our friend, our partner and towards the dog as an object to be shaped--however necessary--to suit our needs and expectations." How does this not apply to dog breeding?
