    saw a video recently that seemed to indicate that wolves initiated the domestication - scavenging from human’s trash & getting less wild over time.

    but yeah, dont left half-wild animals near children

      That is a leading theory, but that takes many many generations for the behaviours and instincts to change. And the wolf in question wasn’t one of those that initiated domestication.
