The man has improved the breed of dogs and made them look sometimes very different of their ancestors - the wolves. But even their outlooks have changed, have their "psychological" innate structure changed accordingly. The answer is now, and a dog is still mostly a wolf, and the instincts of wolves' have not dead in our companions. The representatives of kennel-business claim, that the wild, wolf-like instincts had diminished in domestic wolves or dogs, and that they are completely accustomed to live in the human environment. These claims are analogues to those presented by industrial farmers, who claim, that the breeds are so "improved" that the animals are completely accustomed to live in their farms. In Finland fur-farmers claim that they have in few generations improved a breed of foxes, that is completely adapted to live in little cages. In every animal there is inside a wild animal and this wild animal needs certain kind of environment to keep happy. The psychic structure of an animal is developed in the wild nature and its activity is at its best in the nature. People had changed a little of this hereditary psychic system in the process of domestication, but how much - no one can give an accurate answer , not even M.W. Fox. The change of outlook can be misleading. It is easier to think that white rats or rabbits are less wild than colored ones and more adapted to live as pets in small cages. A dog looking very much as a wolf can arouse questions how it can adapt to live in an urban city, but a poodle do not rise these questions. One phenomenon is the pet-owners tendency to project her inner feelings to animals. When a dog owner watches her dog with tender feelings of love and warmth, he thinks that the animal is feeling the same feelings. And when a dog-owner sees her pet running around, he thinks, that his companion is eager and enthusiastic, when an objective observer would say, that the dog is confused and afraid in a strange, uncontrollable situation. We know, that there are quacks that call themselves dog psychologists, but it is very difficult or impossible to say anything about dog's psychic health. One can also claim, that all dogs in human care suffer of constant mild depression and of constant schizophrenia-like confusion-anxiety caused by too complicated and unnatural environment.
