A thing to know about wild canids, they see all other dogs of any kind as canid intruders, especially if near a den. They are territorial and will attack any kind of dog that enters the boundary they have established. It's one of the many reasons you can't walk your dog on the trails in Yellowstone and other wilderness parks. You invite attacks from wolves, coyotes and bears... and that's aside from the diseases and parasites that can be transferred in either direction.

Since their habitats are being taken over by humans they are having to adapt to closer proximity to humans in their ever shrinking environments.
