Data from: Age-graded dominance hierarchies and social tolerance in packs of free-ranging dogs
It is believed that domestic dogs rarely form packs with age-graded hierarchical structures similar to those found in wolves. Dog-wolf comparisons in captivity suggest that human control has reduced dog dependency on cooperation with conspecifics, resulting in a more despotic dominance order. Howeve...
