DNA studies have shown that they are the same species.
Wolf = Canine Lupus Lupus
Dog = Canine Lupus Domesticus

All breeds - a study that came out in the late 1990's (1998 I think) showed that the mtdna of dogs is about .2% off of that of grey wolves.
Other studies state 1% -
1993 dogs were re-classified from canis familiaris to canis lupus familiaris

All of them. Humans are related to wolves as well. Dogs are related to oak trees too. So you need to define what you mean by "related", or your trick question isn't going to work.

If "dog" refers to Canis lupus familiaris.
Every last one of them are a subspecies of wolf.
Even that teeny chihuahua that barks at me through her fence.
I KNOW she'd LOVE to tear my throat out, pull me down, and eviscerate me.
Cheeky little "wolf"!
Not sure what the "trick" is.
It's a pretty straight forward question.

Isn't it common knowledge that all dogs are derived from wolves?
