Domestic dogs didn’t evolve through natural selection, they’ve been bred to be what they are. No one would argue that dairy cows or domestic turkeys are examples of the “survival of the fittest”

No one would argue that dairy cows or domestic turkeys are examples of the “survival of the fittest” Fittest for what? And determined how. They are the fittest for producing lots of milk and providing lots of breast meat respectively.

No one would argue that dairy cows or domestic turkeys are examples of the “survival of the fittest” "Fittest" is a bad word choice: what's really meant by the concept is 'survival of the fitted: the critter that's best fitted to its environment survives best. Domestic turkeys are ideally fitted to the environment of a turkey-meat industry.
