I’m curious if the “wild dogs” of the bible might have spanned into the wolf family. Though they had different words for dog and wolf.

The New Testament makes a reference to the Sea of Galilee as being called the Sea of Tiberias. According to Wikipedia, Tiberias was an ancient health resort city and the Sea of Galilee, which it borders, gained additional fame through Tiberias.

The reference is probably to dogs. In the Bible, dogs are not man's best friend--almost every reference to them is negative.

In modern Israel, the lake in question is usually called Lake Kinneret. It is also known as Lake Tiberias or Lake Gennesaret.
