I'm sorry but they're demonstrably not, there have been numerous studies that show domesticated dogs and wolves have significant evolutionary divergence.

Even wolves that have been crossbred over several generations with dogs to get a more wolflike appearance tend to be exceptionally difficult to manage, have been well-known to attack other pets, can be very destructive, and ultimately most people want them because of how they look.

People who believe that wolves will reciprocate love and somehow magically ignore their instincts are people who tender overly anthropomorphize what are at heart wild animals.
