In his past life he was
He wasn't. He was a wolf. That's the original meaning behind the name.
Do u not know wolves r dogs ? LOL
If I say you are an ape, am I saying you're a human or a chimpanzee? LOOOL
A simple google calculations could have cleared it up. “ For years, wolves and dogs were considered separate species: canis familiaris and canis lupus. However, more recently, scientists generally agree they are both a sub-species of canis lupus. Unlike dogs and foxes, wolves and dogs can reproduce, creating the controversial wolf-dog.” Both dogs and wolves are under the the sub group of canis lupus. They are both the same species. So whether you refer as dog or wolf, it does not matter. Not sure where you get your confidence from but both r canines. Also, humans are apes, so what exactly is your point? Whether you are talking bout human or a chimpanzee, they are both apes. So it just depends on context. You proved my point here.
The point is you got it wrong. It's not wolves that are dogs like you said, but dogs that are wolves because they evolved later from their main genetic branch, just like apes are not humans but humans are apes. Nevertheless I am glad you learned the meaning of canine today. LOOOOL
Is Cain a dog now? Why am I reading this again
