Your dog may be 100% good boy, but he could also be 0.2% wild boy! New research from Museum scientist Audrey Lin shows that most modern dogs, from big Shiloh shepherds to tiny chihuahuas, carry small but noticeable traces of wolf ancestry from after they were first domesticated. These lingering wolf genes may have helped shape things like size, sense of smell, and even personality.
