I tried to enlarge this picture without success. I was so fascinated with this story that I still have this magazine. The dogs on the cover look more like Yellow Labs than all the other pictures posted.

They don't look like labs to me. They look like they might be part german shepherd, or maybe part sled dog.

Our next door neighbor has a dog that looks exactly like those on the cover of "Science News". When they first got her, maybe 10 years ago, they proclaimed that she was a Yellow Lab. I said to myself "no way is that dog a YL". The neighbor's dog looks and acts exactly like a dog that is defined in various publications as a "Universal Mutt".

The neighbor's dog can be intimidating, as it is towards my wife (she runs from it), or submissive, as with me when I establish that I am the pack leader. I do believe that they have a wild dog that has adapted to a domestic situation. Wild in the sense that it has reached a genetic common ground between wild/cannot be domesticated (wolf,fox,etc.} and wild /can be domesticated (Carolina Dog or maybe the Dingo).

It is a fascinating subject.
