ScienceDaily sumarises a Vienna University of Veterinary Medicine study published in Frontiers in Psychology regarding wolf and dog abilities to discriminate quantities. Scientists studied how well dogs can discriminate between different quantities and discovered that wolves perform better than dogs at such tasks. Possibly dogs lost this skill, or a predisposition for it, during domestication.
