You are mixing up two concepts here, that of the domesticated species and the domesticated individual animal. The article talks about the former. The latter means taming an individual of a species. Dogs are by definition domesticated wolves and depend on humans for survival in general.

>Horses may have been domesticated twice

When I read the title, I was thinking I like a horse that's been domesticated the whole time :)

Former or latter, I don't want to actually participate in the full rodeo experience.

Plenty of dogs live wild mostly off the waste stream of humans, but they are not domesticated. Lets call them coyotes.

Let’s not. A feral dog is behaviorally very different than a coyote or a wolf.

A wolf pup raised by humans won’t be anything like a tame dog.

People whose animal experiences are limited to pets and zoos have many wrong ideas about how real wild animals are.
