Why my dogs don`t like wolves

This page is from Chapter 1. I`ve recently gotten a lot of questions on why dogs don`t like wolves (and hybrids) and why they are not allowed to have relations.

My doggy world works the same as the human world and I used to read a lot of history books, especially about WW2 and am mortified and honestly fascinated by the propaganda machine of this time (and honestly, still going on nowadays). In my world, only canines "see" each other as people with clothes and houses and speak each others language. Any other animal is just seen as an animal. The different kind of canines all live in closed off territories, as they also do in nature. They are constantly at war with each other over territory (but not where Tom and Jeremy live) just like us humans and their views on each other are heavily influenced by political propaganda. Such as wolves having rabies (not true) or having no bite inhibition (that one is true). So Boris is not exactly a bigot, but a product of his upbringing. They are not allowed to cross borders or interact with each other. Since they live far apart in most places, most dogs have never even seen a wolf and vise versa. While the dogs think wolves are primitive brutes, the wolves think dogs are softies who lost their way. Neither of them wants to "weaken" the bloodline. They are just as xenophobic and honestly racist as humans. If a hybrid does happen, they have to choose a side and stay there for the rest of their lives, the parents have to hide because they commited a serious crime. It`s basically just canine apartheit. So Tom is legally a dog, but seen as a wolf by society. You can pick which ever race/nationality/religion/whatever is the current boogeyman in your country.

My story will not revolve around this, it`s just the world they live in. It will be explained a bit more way late in the story.

I hope this cleared some questions for you :)

Thank you again for your support in all forms or shapes

No, a cat is just a cat. They would see each other too as people with clothes and the dogs just as animals :)

When you say canines don't see non canines as people, does that mean there isn't sentient non canines or just Uber speciesism
