Wolves, Dogs: Sensitivity to Inequity Is Strong

Source: Sensitivity to inequity is in wolves' and dogs' blood

Not only dogs but also wolves react to inequity -- similar to humans or primates, suggests new research. Wolves and dogs refused to cooperate in an experiment when only the partner got a treat or they themselves received a lower quality reward. The sensitivity to inequity is not likely to be an effect of domestication, as assumed so far. It is rather a behavior inherited from a common ancestor.
