Are dogs pack animals?

Mom says "Yes and no".

Many still believe that dogs need an "alpha". Mom says: No - they need relationships, not hierarchies.

🐶 Dogs are not wolves. Domestic dogs do not live in rigid pack structures.

♥️ But they seek community. Stray dogs form groups – for friendship, protection & food, not for dominance.

🏡 Mom compares it to a shared apartment: Everyone has their place, no one has to be the boss. Sometimes together, sometimes separate – very relaxed.

💬 Mom says: "Trust beats control. And a really good snack always helps."
