If huskies being the closest breed of domestic dog to an undomesticated wolf is any indication: I totally believe it. Those dogs will do literally anything for a tasty treat. And so would I, for that matter.
"What would you do for a Klondike bar?"
"I have killed and would kill again."
Ironic actually because as I understand it, and I am far from an expert, huskies are on the lower side of the food motivated scale when it comes to dog breeds.
Krapolis is a meh show, but I watched it all for Matt Berry and Richard (won't even try to spell, Moss from IT Crowd)...
But their episode on the domestication of wolves was amazing.

At least you can watch it. I have Not Available in your Country
I won't claim it's a good show, but I love Krapopolis!
