		Also, the day after the wolf was captured and killed, employees from a nearby zoo confirmed that the animal was not the missing Korean wolf, according to the diary.

		This was the savage wolf killing culture of the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, of which the "law of the prairie" was a part.

	Dog History and Domestication
		The Asian wolf also likely interbred with descendants of the European wolf to create the Mastiffs—the Tibetan Mastiff being an example of a very ancient breed—leading eventually to the development of such diverse breeds as the Pug, the Saint Bernard, and the Bloodhound.
		The Chinese wolf is a probably ancestor to the Pekingese and toy spaniels, although it is also probable that descendants of the Chinese and European wolves encountered each other over the millennia, contributing to many of the oriental toy breeds.
		The North American wolf is a direct ancestor to most, if not all, of the North American northern sled dog types; this mixing and crossing still goes on today with dogs living in the Arctic where the attributes of the wolf that enable it to survive in a hostile environment are still valued.
