Even if dogs were to pack, which actually the majority of free ranging dogs don't do.....why would they consider humans, who can't speak they're language, to be part of their 'pack'?
Research has shown that feral dogs don't need to form packs to survive as they have evolved to be scavengers rather than hunters. Most wolves do still need to form packs to survive as they are hunters, and the size of their prey means they must hunt in a pack.
Dogs are not just mini-wolves and should not be treated as such...it just makes absolutely no sense to them to treat them as if they are!!!
And if you believe what you have written I suggest you do a little more research on 'the science of dogs and their psychology'
