Dogs evolved from wolves, so they still have this pack mentality. A pack is a group of animals that work together to survive. Wolves are the best example of this as they live in packs and hunt together. Dogs are pack animals and rely on others for their safety and well-being. This instinct carries over into their relationship with humans, and puppies quickly adapt to living with their human families. Dogs form strong relationships with us due to their pack mentality. We become their family and their pack. The group is their family, and they will do anything to protect it.
